Prescription bottles are different. First of all, they are really small compared to most US prescription bottles. Second, prescription bottles here generally don't have a child safety cap. The cap just unscrews. This was a little unsettling for me, so when I went to the pharmacy to have my prescription refilled, I asked for a child safety cap. It turns out you have to pay extra for those bottles!
Normally I would have been bothered by this, but it turns out that prescription medications are subsidized by the government so I only had to pay $2 for the pills in the first place.
Together, the tiny size and child un-safe cap make the whole bottle look like a toy prescription bottle. Something that might come along with a pharmacist doll.
