Safe and Sound Health Medication Aids - Pill Cases

Really useful, great quality and very accurate.

Vet put my cat on a quarter tablet a day and this will be for the rest of its life. I tried using a knife with a tablet on a chopping board. It worked but not well as some quarters were not really quarters. So did research on pill cutters and this one came in cheapest at £2.99 from Amazon, next day free delivery. Another site had £2.49 but with a £3.45 postage. So Amazon got the business and true to their word it arrived the next day. Very simple to use. Raise the cutter open. Place pill in the V-shaped guide and gently close it and the pill is halved. I then took one half of the pill and with the round side against the V guide, making sure it was square level at the bottom of the pill because if not the next cut would not give quarters. If you have eyesight issues or problems with finger movement then it might be a bit fiddley and only ideal for you if you want to half a tablet. Anyway, I lined up the half tablet and brought the cutter together. Perfect cut. No force is needed and no crushed tablets. I would recommend this cutter to you.

Went for a mid range price and it works fine. Nice sharp blade. Neat cuts.

Wow fantastic little tool. My cat has a brain tumour and needs her pills halved, I’ve been struggling to break these and was advised by the vets to invest in one of these tools. As it’s Xmas and money a little tight I went in search for the cheapest one I could find. To my surprise this was the cheapest and I’m so happy, it’s so easy to use and I decided to do every tablet, that’s two months worth. Every tablet broke into two pieces so this tool works 100%. Don’t waste money on the more expensive one this one is brilliant

I've had the other non-branded versions - and this is not a promotion for a brand - and they performed poorly in comparison, which other reviewers have said the same thing. I had very small tablets to cut and this cut them cleanly and exactly in half. But... It's not keen on the film coated ones. It goes through most of it except the other coated side and it stays on the cutting blade so I've had to gently push it to cut through. Once done it's still cut the tab in pretty much exact halves. And, unlike the non-branded ones, the tablets don't crumble. But, I've only used this on very small tablets so I can't comment on larger ones. But, for small ones, it works great.

Bought to cut small melatonin tablets. It performs better than a kitchen knife but doesn't cut them perfectly. I made mistake of drying it with a tea towel after washing before first use. This resulted in a horrific deep laceration to my index finger. Be very careful of the blade it is effectively an open lsrge razor blade.

Often you find yourself not quite needing the whole pill, but just half, and then the knife needs to come out and one half of the tablet ends up flying somewhere and the other half is now broken on the chopping board. This gets rid of those issues, and for a very reasonable cost too. I've seen these advertised in other pharmacies for significantly higher, and considering it isn't exactly a very technical piece of equipment I'm not sure why. Pleased to say this did the job nicely on the pills I was looking to halve and I am so far happy with the purchase. Of course, before you do go attempting to split pills, just make sure that the medicine is okay to be split as not all are, otherwise happy cutting.

Its sharp and fairly accurate but you do have to line the pill up carefully, especially if it has a groove. Pills with indented lettering dont cut so well - unless it has a defined line then get the smooth side on top. Not much pressure required. I have shattered a few pills by pressing too hard. The teeny tiny pills for the cat are tricky to get perfectly in half, but if you dont need 100% accuracy then it's fine and much easier than using a knife
