Tablet cutter

[mistydog]

Hi all - just wondering if anyone can recommend a good pill cutter for small tablets? I know some people have said some are better than others.

Mine is labelled 'Safe+sound' and works well. I got it from my local chemist. The one I had before had a crooked blade and was useless.

I find if I gently push it far enough for the pill to start to crack, then stop, I get 2 halves with very few crumbs.

Misty, I use Pillmate around £2.99 from a high street pharmacy. I have been able to quarter a Levothyroxine tablet fairly evenly and don't often have trouble evenly splitting pills in half.

Fab, thanks both. Ordered one via the well known rainforest website ...

Thanks for posting and the replies. I was offered choice of two locally and took the one pharmacist recommended but it's not brilliant, can't remember what it was called but will now look out for those brands.

I find the H&B one good.

Apex, Ultra Pill Splitter. The best I've found so far.

Ii use a scalpel to cut ndt and it is 100x better than various pill cutters which were useless
