you should keep the cotten thing in there, because it help keep the moister and bacteria out of the container, so the vitamins dont rot :) good luck: Kelli-ann

Cotton is also a dirt catcher--and I doubt that it soaks up humidity--so throw it away, or rather save it for something you need a cotton ball for. But don't put it back. It's served its purpose.

The cotton can be removed and tossed out, or you can keep it to use with nail polish remover. Just be sure this particular cotton isn't used for swabbing or dressing a wound, as the medicine might effect the injury in some way.

I would take it out, but take into consideration this statement from the comedien Steven Wright: " I'm allergic to cotton. My doctor gave me some pills for it..."

Having a Pharmacist in the family, I asked, and the response was: "The Cotton is simply there to provide a means of cushioning the product during shipping, to prevent broken pills. Do not put the cotton back is, as the bacteria that could possibly be on your hands is liable to end up on the rest of the pills if you put it back in."
