attract moisture. If you are storing your magnesium supplement with other drugs/vitamins, I'd suggest you stop.
Some other drugs also do this... spironolactone is one example.
Levothyroxine now comes with TWO HUGE silica gel canisters to protect it. Almost all RXs are dispensed in the original container for that reason.
I don't like pill dispensers for this reason. Also some drugs may evaporate---into the container and destroy others. I don't recommend people MIX drugs in one vial to carry around for this reason.
The fillers called excipients also factor in, and according to this article even LIGHT is a factor combined with moisture:

hygroscopic -- brings moisture from the air to it
deliquescent-- gives off moisture or evaporates
I would NOT store quinine (if you are still taking that) with other drugs. It is not stable to light (needs amber protection) or humidity.
