Pill Cutter

[Arab]

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend an accurate pill cutter?

The pills I need to cut are lozenge shaped, and scored across the middle. It's dividing the 'triangular' bit that's the problem!

Any suggestions welcome!

Arab,

I can recommend Pillmate which was £2.99 from a high St. pharmacy. I'm not sure what you mean by lozenge shape but if you mean it has straight edges like a 50p coin around the circumference I think the Pillmate would cope.

Thanks clutter. There seem to be a few on the market, but the one I bought seems to cut 'crooked' and I end up with unusable pieces.

Good Luck with that, Arab. Pill cutting is the bane of my life. Now that the prices have gone up (3x) it makes me mad that I try to generate two halves and end up with one half and a pile of dust - that's 50c into the dustbin everyday. To be honest I sometimes take 2 pills instead of 1.5 because I can't stand the aggravation of cutting a one into 2. NO, I'm not suggesting you do this, it's just one of my pet peeves. Maybe you just have better pill cutters in the UK than here in the US.

Still looking for one LAHs!

Think a razor blade might be the answer. 😄

I had one from Well's Chemist in my local town for £1.49. It says 'safe and sound health' on it in green. Hope this helps. Well's are everywhere, they are a big chain
