Traditional and cost-effective dosage method

Pharmaceutical bottles are cost-effective traditional dosage forms, available in glass or plastic containers. They are ideal for the oral administration of syrups, solutions and suspensions. Those glass and plastic bottles are particularly recommended for products with adapted dosage, varying according to body weight.
