Most of us at any age take pills at various times in our lives. Pharmaceutical manufacturers produce these meds in various doses, shapes and sizes that are considered to be the most commonly prescribed. Since your doctor may prescribe a dosage that’s not in a dosage typically available you may be resigned to cutting a pill to the prescribed dosage your doctor prescribed. This is a pretty common practice. The problem for the patient is how to easily and accurately cut a pill to match your doctor’s dosage requirements.
There are various pill cutting devices on the market. Typically, the choice comes down to two models. One that has you slide the pill into a “V” shaped mold for cutting and one that has various preshaped molds to fit most pill shapes and sizes. In either design a prefixed blade is forced on to the tablet by the user resulting in cutting the size and dosage of the tablet.
The “V” shaped design can be highly inaccurate since tablets tend to slip and slide during the process. It also depends on the user’s ability to accurately line the tablet up and maintain this position during the cutting process.
The design of the PILL PERFECT UNIVERSAL PILL CUTTER eliminates any slippage of tablets you may have since it’s designed to cut 18 differently shaped pills, or vitamins with its removable cutout molds included with the cutter. Due to there being so many differently shaped tablets and sizes even the 18 supplied mold designs can fall short of meeting all your pill cutting needs. Another possible issue is that some pills have a consistency that can cause the tablet to somewhat pulverize during the cutting process. This is not necessarily the fault of the cutting device, but rather the makeup of the tablet’s ingredients and is unavoidable unless you have a worn-out cutting blade that needs replacing. Naturally, this can somewhat alter the dosage amount and could be a concern to speak with your doctor about. The PILL PERFECT UNIVERSAL PILL CUTTER’S self-retracting curved blade helps with the cutting process thus greatly minimizing crumbling and crushing.
The PILL PERFECT UNIVERSAL PILL CUTTER is certainly a great solution to most of your pill cutting needs. The ease of use and device cleaning make this a great possible alternative!
