Question
My meds seemed a different consistency out of the pill container?
1 January 2026. Related: Adherence, All topics.
Hello. I transferred a few of my arv to a pill box and I noticed that the consistency of it changed, like not as compact when it was stored in it’s original bottle. I took some of them for already a week, but it bothers me. Will the meds be okay? Will I be okay? I appreciate your help. I live in the Philippines.

Hi there
Thanks. So long as the meds were stored within the temperature range, the consistency should not have changed. This is cooler than 25 degrees C and in a dry place. If it is very hot and humid then using the original container might be better.
You could use a spare container as a weekly pill box as an easy way to see how many pills you took each week.
The meds you have already taken are still likely to have been okay though. Even if you had missed these few doses altogether, you would also be okay.
Happy New Years :)
