Pill splitting is a common, fairly simple practice. Here's how it works: Since higher doses often are not much more expensive than lower doses of the same medication, have your doctor prescribe double the strength of your medication dose - for example, 40 milligrams (mg) instead of 20 mg - then you cut your pills in half at home, and end up with two doses for the price of one. The problem is that splitting tablets with a kitchen knife or with some other household tool usually won't divide a pill into equal halves. Instead, using a pill splitter can divide medication more precisely. Our mini pill splitter has a V-shaped wings that hold pills between 0.5-2 (cm)/0.2-0.79 (in) securely, and because it stays securely in place when open - it makes for an easy one-handed operation. The stainless steel blade is sharp and can cut pills into half or even smaller sizes (e.g. 1/4 and 1/8 of the original size). It's lightweight and portable, perfect to carry it anywhere you go.
