Powders become sticky or pasty or liquefy when mixed together Mix with adsorbent ( MgO, MgCO3, triturated on pill tile using spatula) Double wrap the papers Mix powders with bulky powders then light blending Eutectic first then adsorbed the paste or liquid that results onto a bulky powder Dispense separately	Eutectics
Dispense in tight containers and incorporate a dessicant packet or capsule Store in a dry place, and in a tightly closed container Dilute the powder with an inert drying powder to reduce the amount of Surface Area exposed	Hygroscopic and Deliquescent Powders
Crystalline powder that contains water of hydration or crystallization. Water can be liberated either during manipulations or on exposure to a low-humidity environment> sticky, pasty, liquefy Use anhydrous salt form of the drug Drying bulky powder and use a light, noncompacting method of mixing the powders	Efflorescent powders
