As far as I know (having previously been a lab technician in a pharmaceutical company), the cotton wool is there to keep the pills from mechanical damage (powdering) during transit. To keep them fresh - if they are moisture-sensitive - they use a sachet of moisture-absorbent such as silica gel or rice.

solarxmoon	Posted Feb 7th, 2009 at 6:45PM don't, I throw it away after opening it. I thought the cotton was just in there to protect the pills during shipment. Is there a reason to keep it in there? Rated: +1Vote for this!
