Ezy Dose Pill Cutter & Splitter

A cutter the size of a lighter, in green, purple or pink, with a stainless-steel blade in the lid and a chamber under it that catches the halves and dispenses them one at a time through a small door. Set the tablet on the score line, close the lid in one movement, and the break is clean; a slow squeeze crumbles the edge.

The blade is exposed when the lid is up, which is what the safety-shield cutter on the same shelf changes. This one is the pocket tool, small enough for a handbag and light enough to forget, for a person who splits one or two tablets a day and has already asked the pharmacist whether they may.

This page is general information about medication tools, not medical advice. Whether a tablet may be split or crushed, how much of a medicine to give and what to do about a missed dose are questions for the pharmacist who filled the prescription and the doctor who wrote it.

One of 14 on the pill cutters shelf in the Ezy Dose lineup. Capacities describe aspirin-sized tablets, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
