Pharmacy Bottles

Pharmacy Bottles for Medication Dispensing and Compounding

The right dispensing bottle protects both the medication and the patient. Vision Supply stocks a range of pharmacy bottles covering the most common dispensing and compounding requirements in Australian community pharmacies, hospital dispensaries and compounding operations. Our range includes 90ml white HDPE plastic tablet bottles with tamper-tell caps, 25ml amber glass dropper bottles, 50ml amber glass poison bottles and 200ml clear glass flat bottles.

Each bottle type is selected for a specific dispensing application based on the medication format, light sensitivity requirements and patient safety considerations mandated by Australian poisons scheduling regulations.

90ml White HDPE Plastic Tablet Bottles with Tamper-Tell Caps

White high-density polyethylene (HDPE) tablet bottles are the most commonly used container for dispensing solid-dose medications in Australian pharmacies. Our 90ml bottles are supplied with tamper-tell caps in packs of 10. HDPE is lightweight, shatter-resistant and provides UV protection through the white pigmentation, making it suitable for tablets, capsules, lozenges and powders that do not require glass containment.

The tamper-tell cap provides visible evidence of opening, allowing pharmacists and patients to confirm that the medication has not been accessed since dispensing. Child-resistant caps are available separately in packs of 50, meeting packaging requirements under Australian Standard Schedules of the Poisons Standard (SUSMP). These caps are designed to be difficult for children under five to open while remaining accessible for adult patients.

25ml Amber Glass Dropper Bottles for Measured-Dose Liquids

Amber glass dropper bottles combine light protection with precision dosing. The amber tint filters harmful UV and visible light wavelengths that degrade active pharmaceutical ingredients such as certain antibiotics, vitamins and compounded formulations. The built-in glass dropper allows patients to measure drops accurately, which is critical for medications where dosage precision directly affects treatment outcomes.

Glass is chemically inert and non-reactive, making amber dropper bottles suitable for formulations containing alcohol, essential oils, tinctures and acidic or alkaline compounds that could interact with or leach from plastic containers.

50ml Amber Glass Poison Bottles and 200ml Clear Glass Flat Bottles

Amber glass poison bottles (50ml) are used for dispensing light-sensitive liquid medications, oral suspensions and topical preparations in smaller volumes. The amber glass provides the same UV filtration as dropper bottles but in a wider-mouth format suited to pouring rather than dropping.

Clear glass flat bottles (200ml) are available for preparations where light protection is not required or where visual inspection of the contents is preferred by the pharmacist or prescriber. The flat bottle shape sits securely on dispensary shelves, provides a stable base for patient use at home and offers a large, flat surface for dispensary label application.
