Can anyone please tell me if they have found a pill cutter that really works.

Just so grateful for all the wonderful, helpful, knowledgable 'experts' out there who help us all so much more than any Doctor and for the humour that so often shines through.

Happy New Year to everyone on this forum.

Mine isn't too bad - but my husband had the identical model and I couldn't use it at all!! I suspect you have to look for one that suits you.

Please - can I ask that you don't use your username as the title of your post, that is added automatically. Had you put "Pill Cutter" as the title you would have got some Related Posts suggested for you to look at.

Thank you, first post I have done, I will remember about the title. May even post again with 'Pill Cutter' as the title to get more suggestions!

The one I use is “Safe&Sound”. Works a treat, and I think I got it from Amazon.

I also use the Safe&Sound pill cutter. It even works for me with my dodgy (useless) arthritic right hand. I got mine from a chemist shop in our village.

Aidapt Lockable Pill Cutter purchased from Amazon in November 2019. Now priced at £3.99 and still going strong (which is probably more than can be said for me). Secret I've found is to place pill in cutter, click shut and then turn cutter upside down to make sure pill is centred between cutter blades. Hope that makes sense.

I use an 'Opret Pill Cutter' bought from Amazon which works very well.

I bought mine on Amazon. It's identical to this one, apart from the colour. Take care, the blade is incredibly sharp!
