If you work in any type of pharmacy, clinic or medical office, you may find that you need to keep some amber medicine bottles on hand. These are the bottles that liquid medication is stored in, which is different than the medicine vials that contain pills. When it comes to these amber medicine bottles, you will find that it will be in your best interest to buy them online. You can buy them in bulk, you can buy them in a number of different sizes and you will also find that you can get a great value for your money.
Choose the Size You Need
One of the first things that you will find when you go to buy medicine bottles is that they are available in a range of sizes. Generally they will come in sizes from 1 oz to 16 oz. Smaller bottles are generally used by veterinarians who treat small animals or for patients like baby’s, who may not need to have their medication enclosed in a large bottle. For adults and most other cases, you will find the larger bottles will be more than adequate.
Note the Unit Price
Once you have narrowed down your size or sizes, you will want to take note of the unit price. This is the price of one, single bottle. In most cases, you will find the smaller bottles are less expensive than the larger ones but of course, the smaller ones may only hold a fraction of the liquid a large bottle will. In addition to the unit price, you will want to look at the box price. These items are generally purchased by the box and you will get a certain number in each box. For instance, you may get 300+ 1 oz bottles in the same box that will only hold 40 of the 12 oz bottles. But, the 40 bottles may be less expensive.
Finally, once you have made your choice, as with most online shopping, you will add it to your cart. At this point, checkout should be fairly self explanatory, especially if you are an avid online shopper. Check the shipping address, the billing address and place your order. Make sure you use a site that has order tracking, as this is the best way to keep an eye on your bottles.
