It's called a desiccant and it's used to keep the pills or tabs free of moisture Health Question & Answer
It's usually a type of silica gel. It's put inside the pill bottles to absorb any moisture inside the bottle so that the pills don't start to dissolve (it's a kind of desiccant).
Some of them are poisonous because they contain a copper-based moisture indicator or a fungicide. They are all harmful to your body because of their moisture-absorbing properties; they would disrupt the moisture balance in your system if ingested.Health Question & Answer
