Why do some prescription and non-prescription medication bottles contain cotton and other do not?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) June 2nd, 2011

Some pharmacies include cotton inside the bottles of prescriptions, issued to their customers and others do not. Also, cotton is included in some over the counter vitamins. Question: why is this? Is this cotton sanitary? I have often wondered this and now is the time to ask the question.
