I always keep the cotton at the top of my vitamin bottles cause I have the idea that it keeps them more fresh, but it annoys me to pick it out everytime. Does it really matter whether the cotton is left in there or not? Also... just wanted to add. there is no good catergory for a question like this.

  • Another thing, those cotton balls in medicine bottles are chemically treated. They should be always thrown away instead of being used as regular.cotton balls.

  • They get covered in germs when you take them out and put it back in. Which can grow into nastiness... just throw it out.

  • I think they just put that in there to keep the pills from rattling around and breaking. I always take it out and throw it away
