Ezy Dose Pill Cutter with Safety Shield

An oval body with a stainless blade behind a shield that closes as the lid comes down, and a compartment under the cradle for the halves. It is the cutter for a drawer shared with other things, and for a hand that shakes on the way down.

The cradle suits a round or oval tablet on its score line and is less certain with a very small one: buyers splitting quarter-inch veterinary tablets report crumbs rather than halves. For a tablet that small the crushers on the next shelf are often what the vet meant anyway.

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 selection. Capacities describe aspirin-sized tablets, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
