Tablet Tube

**Semantic type:** Manufactured Object

**Definition:** Rigid, cylindrical container that is closed at one end, usually intended for fragile tablets such as effervescent tablets, and which is designed to allow the tablets to be stacked in a single column, thereby reducing the likelihood of physical damage caused by impacts with each other or the container wall. The open end can be reclosed, and in the case of effervescent tablets, a desiccant is usually integrated into the closure.
