A Variety of Uses
The need to split medications is not just limited to patients. Splitting tablets can also fall on the shoulders of family members or other caregivers, and out EZ-Swallow Pill Splitter can make that job easier. With just the snap of a cap, anyone who needs to cut tablets, can do so with ease when using our tablet splitter.
Use to get perfect dosage
It may be your Heart pills or possibly medications for your cancer therapy that you can only get the correct dosage by splitting a tablet into halves or quarters. Our stainless steel cutting blades will easily cut your medications to the size you need.
Economical Use
Stretching the money you spend at the pharmacy is an important and legitimate goal. One way to accomplish this is to ask the doctor to prescribe the medication in a higher dosage and divide the pill to achieve the dosage you need.
For instance, say the prescription calls for the patient to take a 100mg tablet once a day, and they refill that prescription every month. The patient can ask the doctor if that pill is made in 200mg dosages, then and split the single 200mg dosage into 2 doses of 100mg. At the checkout this translates to about the same cost as one month's supply of the 100mg prescription- but for two months!
In most cases a pill that is 100mg is about the same cost as a tablet that is 200mg. When the patient takes the time to visit with the doctor or pharmacist, they may find that a snap of the Pill Splitter cap just might cut more than their pills in half. It may help cut your prescription costs as well.
Dosing for Children
You may be a parent and facing the needed to cut a pill into smaller dosages for your child. By using the diamond shaped pill cutting guide, parents will are able to easily line up tablets so they can be split actually into smaller doses.
Easy to Clean
Many patients have several different medications that must be administered which may need to be split. Your pill splitter can be rinsed off between uses with hot tap water to make sure that there is no cross contamination. If you have several members of your household that need to split tablets, then this easy cleaning design is important.
You may be one of what is called the "sandwich generation", who is caught between having aging parent(s) who need care on one side, and kids still at home on the other. Those of us in the "sandwich generation" will find that having several EZ-Swallow Tablet splitters for each of the children or parents that we cut tablets for will help us eliminate cross contamination form using just one tablet cutter. You will also appreciate the time saved while setting up or administering the medication needs of both sides of your family when using a tablet splitter.

Direction for Use:
To use the EZ-Swallow Pill Splitter:
Flip up the lid of the pill splitter. Place the tablet in the diamond
shaped area and tip the splitter slightly forwards or backwards so the pill
slides to the top or bottom of the diamond to center the pill under the
blade. Then bring the lid of the pill splitter down firmly on the pill to
divide. Lift the lid again to expose the pieces of the split pill.
You can store the extra pieces in the storage compartment in the splitter, just pull the two pieces of the splitter. Slightly twist the units opposite directions and pull them gently apart.
Please note: Check with your doctor or healthcare professional to make sure the medication or vitamin you are taking can be crushed or split.
