Pill cutter

Can anyone recomend a pill cutter from amazon thats cuts levo into quarters as pills so small

I had the problem that my pill cutter cut a 100 levothyroxin pill into bits and dust. Instead I nibbled bits off- as T4 has a long half life it's not so problematic re getting the 25 mcg accurate, as I knew over 4 days I got an average of this on top of my 100 pill. I queried the same problem with T3 pills recently, that are more sensitive re dose size, and two forum members said they used a craft knife, like a scalpel, available from craft shops.

I use this one by Safe and Sound amazon.co.uk/Safe-Sound-Pil...

I got it from my local pharmacy for less than that.

I've been using it for 2.5 years and it still cuts fine. Place tablet in the V, bring blade down with a light touch.

This baby

ebay.co.uk/itm/Pill-Storage... Has always worked well for me. I practised with some aspirin first.

Does it cut in quartes or just half?

You can see from the picture that it only has one blade, it cuts the tablet in half, then you return half to the V and cut that in half again, so you can do halves and quarters.

I think the best is made by Apex ( Ultra Pill Splitter iherb.com/pr/apex-ultra-pil...

That's the same as the one Rapunzel has linked to, cheaper and easier to buy from UK than the US as the OP is in the UK.
