So when you start taking the blood thinner Xarelto, for some reason, you work up to taking one 30mg tablet a day by... taking two 15 mg tablets at different times of day

I'm almost done with the 21-day starting dose, and about to graduate to ...what I have only been able to think of, so far, as the "chibi klingon tablets"

Qapla, everyone

Question for people who take regular medication, such as the kind of injections that come in little glass bottles.

Is it feasible to sell the bottles to artists?

I ask because I am an artist who likes to incorporate small glass bottles into my art. There are plenty of tiny bottles available very cheap on Amazon and eBay, but in general they are thin and fragile, and I suspect that a lot of them are made with unethical business practices

Once, though, I found a bag of very nice little bottles at a thrift store, which were much stronger and a little bigger than the ones I've found online. I made some lovely pieces with them (tiny wire-and-bead trees-in-a-bottle) and I wish I could get more.

I don't know where the bottles came from, since they were just in an unmarked plastic bag on a thrift store shelf. But I suspect they were someone's medicine bottles. See, my day job is in a pharmacy, and I see a lot of medication. I don't personally take any meds that come in glass containers, but I'm aware of several that do, mostly injections.

So... are there any people out there who use such things, and have a bunch of used bottles they want to sell? Are there any health, safety or logistical reasons this wouldn't work?

I doubt my pharmacy would let me use any of the ones from the IV department, because pharmacies tend to be very strict about waste disposal practices. But I would assume that if someone did let me use their old bottles, it would be perfectly safe as long as the bottles were cleaned.

But if you have any knowledge, either confirming or refuting my idea, let me know! If it's feasible to get repurposed tiny bottles from someone who could use the money, instead of buying them new and shoddily mass-produced, I'd love to go that route!
