prescription bottle
Pharmacy pill vessel
A prescription bottle is the small plastic container pharmacies use to dispense medication, typically amber-colored to protect contents from light, with a child-resistant cap and a label showing the patient's name, dosage instructions, and prescribing doctor.
The distinctive orange cylinder has become a visual shorthand for medication generally: prescription bottles lined the bathroom shelf.
