You might find using extra moisture absorbers for your tablets.

If they crumble at room temp that may be a humidity problem.

You can ask your pharmacist to save extra for you. The best drugs to save from are coated ones. (to avoid contamination)

The ones in the canisters are better than the paper packet kind.
The canisters can be rejuvenated with a blow dryer carefully so as not to melt them. (in the business we call them "do not eat"s

Give your pharmacist a ziploc to save some for you.
Don't store in kitchen or bathroom where humidity is highest.


The containers supplied with your drugs are typically pretty air tight...it is the opening/closing that lets the humidity in.

This looks like a good investment for long term storage and rejuvenation ...
