Buying guideWhat makes the cup different from the bottles, and how case quantities pair
Graduated, where the bottles are not
The 3.5 oz cup is the only graduated item in the range. The bottles are packers — wide mouth containers with no markings — so where a dose has to be poured and read rather than counted, the cup is the measuring vessel and the bottle is the container. Graduations are formed into the wall rather than printed, so they cannot wear off in handling or wash away.
Ordering alongside bottles and caps
Cups ship 2,500 per case. Bottles ship 2,000, 1,500 or 1,000 depending on size, and caps ship 2,000. Ordering cups and bottles together will not pair one for one — worth checking against your own usage rather than assuming a matched case.
Medicine cup questions
What are medicine cups used for?
A medicine cup is a measuring vessel for a single oral dose. The dose is poured, read against the graduations and given, and the cup is then discarded. Dosage cups, dose cups and unit dose cups all describe the same job: measure one dose accurately at the point of administration.
Are the graduations printed on the cup?
No. The volume markings are formed into the wall of the cup rather than printed, so they cannot wear off in handling or wash away.
What are these plastic medicine cups made of?
Food-contact grade polypropylene, free of BPA, phthalates and latex. The material passed independent FDA food-contact testing under 21 CFR 177.1520, performed by Unitec Laboratory Services, an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab.
Can medicine cups be washed and reused?
No. They are disposable and intended for single patient use, and are discarded after the dose.
How are they sold?
By the full case of 2,500 cups. Bottles and caps ship in different case sizes, so cups do not pair one-for-one with a bottle case. Order to your own usage. The cups pour the dose, and the packer bottles carry it.
Do the cups need to be ordered with bottles?
No. Cups, bottles and closures are separate line items, each sold by its own case quantity, so a facility can reorder whichever one is running low without also reordering the others.
Who orders these
Pharmacies and compounding pharmacies, hospital and health-system pharmacy, long-term care and skilled nursing, home health and hospice, urgent care and physician offices, and correctional health use these cups anywhere a liquid dose is poured and read rather than counted.
