T3 pill cutter uneven ?

Hello,

I'm on 12.5mcg of Tiromel at the moment, so I'm cutting the 25mcg pill in half. Sometimes really small pieces on one half of the pill break off (no big parts just really small) leaving the other half a bit bigger. Does anyone else hve this too ? Also some pills don't even have a line for cutting so you just go by eye then ?

Thanks

Yes agree. But the Safe and Sound cutter seems to be the best one to use.

I just split Tiromel by hand along the score mark. Usually pretty even. But I haven't found it matters much if the sections aren't even. I hve a pill cutter, but I find that it is slightly off centre.

The Safe+Sound (and no doubt other) pill cutters have V-shaped guides to position the pill and centre the cut.

I suppose you could crush and dissolve the pill and drink half, and see if you feel the same on the day when you take the second half.
