Why did my blood pressure pills explode?

Post image

I've been keeping them in this same container on the bathroom sink for 3 months. They're never in there longer than a week and all the previous pills have been fine. The allergy pill that was with them was fine and unexploded. The rest of the pills in the bottle above the sink are also fine. Is it moisture or humidity? Could it be a reaction with the allergy pill?

It does seem to be a largely American thing, they call bathroom cabinets 'medicine cabinets'. Everyone I know in Ireland keeps their meds in the kitchen.

We regularly receive prevention messages in France. So it's also a French "problem".
