what is the cotton in pill bottles for?

So far I think is a combination of both of those.  The pills can be damaged in shipping from being shaken around and hitting one another.  And if the bottle has safety seal on the top, without the cotton, the seal could get hit by the pills in shipping and loosen it.  And if it does not have a safety seal, there is still the chance of moisture that may get into the bottle and damage the product.

your right, its used to reduce the swelling and also stop the bleeding. it's kept in ice and its the cold that reduces the swelling and helps to thicken the blood which slows down the bleeding.

cotton will always be king so long as there is nylon and rayon.....follow my train of thought as it derails....not only is cotton used in everything from DENIM JEANS to MONEY...just think of all those cotton shields built into pantyhose......

Generally because there is a greater spacing between the cotton fibers. Synthetic fibers naturally fall closer together. Cotton PJ's are also better for little kids to wear, they will burn off. Synthetic clothes will simply melt from heat.

They were jars that pharmacists and chemists kept drugs/chemicals in - many years ago.  (Pharmacists used to have jars of "ingredients".  When a customer came into the store, he would tell the pharmacist/chemist what he needed or what his symptoms were, and the pharmacist/chemist would mix a "formula" (ingredients from different jars).  Drugs were not regulated or prepackaged/measured as they are now.) \n\nNow, seeing as they do not have that use any longer, they are used as decoration now - trinkets jars, etc.

Some hopes !\nLet us see what will happen if you used a -\n[a] Cotton string :\nIf you swallowed it, it will most possibly be churned within your stomach, and turned into a tangled mass and soon block and choke your small intestines - plus remain there !\nBut if you 'ate' [masticated and pulverised] it, since cotton is basically an agricultural product, it would be acted upon by the digestive enzymes - and turned into unidentifiable excreta.\n[b] Nylon string :\nWhether you swallowed or 'ate' it [impossible, since it is synthetic], it will not be digested within your stomach, and get knotted into a tangled mass and immediately block and choke your entire alimentary canal !

It's not the pill that makes it dissolve it's your body's enzymes that cause the pill to dissolve.  tablets usually dissolve more easily than caplets

Birth control pills are usually used to regulate your cycles.  Vitex/Chasteberry is a good herb that also does this, but a capsule that is 80 mg, rather than the ones you see that are 500 mg.  Natural Factors makes this particular potency.

It is true about the temperature and air of the water but these bottles were not meant to be used after opening and when the companies were asked they said it was unsafe to do so.\n\nThe plastic is decomposing and the more use the more it leeches out and becomes deformed.

it means to know how to use the materials such as condomes and contraceptive pills.
