| I need recommendations for a pill cutter that works, consistently! I've tried four. The best thus far has a soft rubber cutting bed with a V-shaped matrix to hold the tablet, but it sometimes breaks one of the halves or chips off one or more fragments of varying size.
Just this afternoon I tried another that has a set of "templates" to fit tablets of various sizes/shapes. It's a joke. The blade doesn't cut deep enough. The tablet and template stick to the blade when the cover is lifted, and the tablet ends up partially crushed instead of cut cleanly. |

| Check with your pharmacist first cuz some pills you have to take whole. |

| I'm aware of that, and it's not the case with the medication that is involved. The doctor's instructions are being followed. |

| Sorry for this delay in responding, but I couldn't find the darn thing! Mine works very well, and I bought it at Kaiser Permanente (health plan) for a few dollars. Easy to use with various sized pills and hasn't broken any as yet. It is called: APEX Deluxe Pill Splitter Item: 70058 Tel #: 1-800-328-2935. The web site says about this item: Double beveled stainless steel blade. I want to add that I have nothing to do with this company. Hope this is of some help, even if delayed. |
