Pharmaceuticals
The main role of desiccants in the pharmaceuticals is to protect the drugs from moisture-induced degradation, and also prevent the growth of bacteria that may contaminate drugs.
In addition to protecting drugs from moisture and bacterial contamination, desiccants can be used to improve the stability of drug formulations, increase the shelf life of drugs, and ensure the integrity of drug packaging.
Desiccants such as silica gel and molecular sieves are commonly used in this industry.
