The supplement tablets probably have a coating called an exipient, or outer nonactive coating, that is hydrophilic, or water attracting. This way, when the drug is taken into the digestive tract and meets water there, the exipient bulks up and allows the drug's contents to become fragmented, and thus more easily absorbed. Otherwise, the pill might take some time to become absorbed, and may leave your digestive tract before it is fully broken down. So, the exipient in this case allows the full dose of the drug to be absorbed. The tablet probably gets wet because, due to the hydrophilic nature of the coating, any water that is in the air is attracted to interact with the coating. If you were to open the bottle in a desiccator, where there was no humidity in the air, the tablet would not get wet. Your drug probably came with a silica package to absorb any moisture that gets into the bottle when you open it.

What is the difference in dry bottle to wet bottle?
A dry bottle refers to an empty bottle without any liquid inside, while a wet bottle contains liquid. Dry bottles are typically used for storage or transportation, while wet bottles are ready to be consumed.
What happens to chlorine tablets if they get wet?
If chlorine tablets get wet, they will start to dissolve and release chlorine gas more quickly than intended. This can pose a safety hazard due to the rapid release of chlorine gas, which can be harmful if inhaled. It is essential to store chlorine tablets in a cool, dry place to prevent them from getting wet.
Who made cuneiform?
the sumerians made cuneiform on wet clay tablets
Why does wrapping a bottle in wet cloth at a picnic often produce a cooler bottle than placing the bottle in a buket of cold water?
Wrapping a bottle in wet cloth creates evaporation, which cools the bottle through the process of latent heat of vaporization. This cools the bottle more effectively than placing it in a bucket of cold water where heat transfer is less efficient. The wet cloth allows for continuous evaporation, enhancing the cooling effect on the bottle.
What materials were used to make clay tablets?
they wrote on wet clay and left it dry
How do gerbles get wet tail?
Key word: wet. If they are wet too long they get wet tail. (leaking water bottle, left in water for over 10 minutes, etc.)
Why is it difficult to unscrew the top of a bottle if your hands are wet?
It is difficult to unscrew the top of a bottle when your hands are wet because water creates a slippery layer between your hand and the bottle cap, making it harder to get a good grip. This reduced friction makes it more challenging to apply the necessary force to twist and open the bottle.
Where does the blue bottle Jellyfish live?
The ocean, particularly large wet areas :)
Why it is difficult to unscrew the top of bottle if your hands are wet and soapy?
Lack of friction.
Which civilization developed an early writing system that used cuneiform script on wet clay tablets?
The Sumerians.
What are the advantages of roller compaction over wet granulation?
Roller compaction can continuously produce tablets whereas wet granulation produces tablets in batches. Roller compaction is also simpler with fewer steps and it requires less equipment and floor space. As roller compaction requires less time and energy, it is less expensive than wet granulation.
Why outer surface of a cooled bottle gets wet at room temperature?
When a cool bottle is exposed to room temperature, moisture in the air condenses on the colder surface of the bottle due to the difference in temperature. This forms tiny water droplets on the outer surface of the bottle, making it appear wet. It's similar to how dew forms on grass in the morning.
