Best Pill Crushers & Splitters
The twin blade, aluminum, all-in-one pill cutter. Equadose is a revolutionary new pill cutter that solves many of the issues with traditional, plastic, single-blade tablet cutters; and it works with just about every size and shape tablet. The design utilizes two opposing blades that come in from the sides to effectively score the pill prior to cutting. Opposing blades Our blades are angled so they will never dull, yet they are not sharp to the touch. TWIN BLADES: The double blades create a split point that gives you perfect halves every time!

"Update: I wanted to post a response to the seller's reply, and fix the product link earlier- but when you're chronically ill, things just don't always happen. For the pill pictured in the photo I uploaded, which is 4 mg methylprednisolone with scored surface for both horizontal and longitudinal splitting, this splitter has worked pretty well. If the pill surface is domed and doesn't have a score, the blade will tend to slip and getting it centered is really hard (this does not work as well at evenly splitting my Armour Thyroid, for example). Initially I assumed it must be a design defect, but upon inspection I realized there's no way to center it given the way it is manufactured. My husband (both of us have engineering degrees) also pointed out that the rotating design means that the cutting blade comes in at an angle. If your pills don't have a center score and aren't the right size/shape for the divot (about the size of a Tylenol caplet) you'll have to eyeball it."
"In order to center the pill, it was necessary to use a letter (a large "M") embossed in the pill, to approximate the center between the 2 blades. This will provide more stability, and prevent the pill from shifting (off center) when closing/clamping the blades together. One must 'eyeball' to approximate the center of the pill. I am no engineer by any stretch of the imagination, but I've uploaded a couple pics to explain what I mean by an adjustable 'fence' to center the pill; using a thin, malleable, material that can spring back to accommodate a clean disassociation. I postulate that a small (or large) pill could be stabilized within a small fence, as demonstrated with the 4 staples in the pic. The large fence made of foil, is an enlarged depiction of the mechanics to center the pill."

"I have to take supplement pills everyday, and those pills are so big and everytime i swallow it i still feel it's still in my throat, doesn't digest all the way and i feel sick of everytime i took the supplement until i purchase this pill crusher!"
"Works okay, takes pills to the granular level quickly but if you want it in a powder, a mortar and pestle works better, If you're medicating through a NG or J tube it may get clogged."
"My dog has Kidney issues, and suffers from old injuries (two surgeries to repair Achilles tendon). Crushes large glucosamine tabs for my dog very easily."
"It crushes very well, but the cutting part is difficult because it's too small for me."
"This pill crusher does a good job, but I still have to finish crushing the larger particles that remain."
"Large knobs like handles on it should make it easy for those who have a hard time gripping."
"With regard to the cutter, I agree that it would be easier if the surface was rubbery, but it's not all that difficult to keep our oblong generic benadryl pills centered to cut."
The cover, with integral cutting blade, is then replaced and pushed down to split all the pills all at once. Medical grade stainless steel cutting blade.

"After you puzzle over the odd looking contraption, you''ll find that If your pills are Large, or Round, or LARGE oblong, this goes easily (after some practice!). If you have tiny "long" pills, or odd shapes, the project doesn't go so easy--but it does go (with practice). But it does seem strong and durable, and if you are as tired as I am of those dinky little cheap and crummy pill cutters out there, then please give this unique one a try, especially with Amazon's good return policy.."
"I used a pen cap the first time). I bought this to cut medications for a 5 lb, 18 yr old cat. I eventually gave up trying to find one that works and for the last couple of years have just cut the pills by hand with a sharp pairing knife. I expect the crushing will disappear with experience and practice with hand placement on the top/blade and the right amount of pressure."
"If you look in the top and have good eyesight, you will see "Caution: sharp blade under. Then you will understand that when you replace the top and press down to close the gap, the blade comes out and cuts all your pills like a razor."
"Both my wife and I have to split multiple pills daily...so our weekly filling of our pill boxes was a pain using 1 pill at a time cutters."
"I hate to split a quantity of pills, one at a time."
"So I end up cutting down to an 8th and this pill cutter works great."
"This cutter smashes the pills leaving the halves unusable."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The problem I've had with other organizers is that the compartments weren't large enough or lids either wouldn't close securely, or would open unexpectedly, spilling the pills all over the place."
"I bought this pill organizer for my husband. It is still going strong; all the buttons still open easily and close tightly."
"Just too much trouble, but I think my triglycerides and cholesterol are at world record high levels so instead of statins I am taking the more un-lethal approach with less posionous natural stuff. I was trying to dig all these pills out of the stupid little bottles and my wife sugested getting this organizer to make the task less daunting."
"I have 12 different pills and vitamin supplements I take daily and it fit all of them in one slot easily."
"So I cant fit all my daily in the AM and PM for the day, But it make a big dent in the daily bottle opening."
"It comes in a plastic bag, so the issue of the one cell not remaining closed likely would not have been noticed by the seller. That said, if you order it, I'd recommend checking that each cell clicks shut securely, and if any doesn't, contact the seller for a replacement. I thought I'd be able to figure out the issue with mine and fix it, but it's a real puzzler, and has evaded my attempts so far."
"This means that 31% of the organizer is taken up by the latches and the space down the middle for their operation. The latches also make the organizer more complicated and hence more expensive."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I was a little concerned that some of the reviewers said that the plastic was cheap and poorly made and the pill containers opened easily but went ahead and ordered them anyway. I just got the product yesterday and immediately tested it out and here are my findings: PRESENTATION: It looks exactly as it does on Amazon and actually better than expected. Also like the size of the individual pill containters because I'm taking supplements and they don't fit in others I've ordered. THEY DO NOT OPEN EASILY which is exactly what you want from pill cases floated around your handbag. I did my best to address their concerns and refund anyone who felt that the product didn't fit their needs, but all I could do was email those I had the contact information for through the Amazon system."
"I unfortunately have to take a crap load of pills and vitamins. I can fit a lot of large pills and vitamins in each hole."
"This is well designed and seems to be well made...my husband and I take a lot of supplements and its so nice to just do a weeks worth and they fit in the compartments!"
"I have a bad memory and I take a lot of pills so writing the down on that paper in the organizer is good stuff!"
"It’s a well designed, easy to open, large compartment pill case."
"The plastic cases are not the greatest quality."
"I bought this for the size of the compartments and it works well in that regard."
"The 7 sections fit onto a frame which slides into the clear plastic covered pocket (compartment covers can't open), and then the dark cover (keeps light off meds) fasteners over all with Velcro......CAN YOU TELL THAT I LIKE THE TRAVEL PILL BOX FOR EVERYDAY USE ?"

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I came across these about 6 months ago and for the first time in my life I don't wake up with burning dry eyes and I don't need to add drops constantly throughout the days. This means everyday when you're adding drops you're not tearing your natural eye lubricants apart but instead helping build them up. I didn't get a discount on this or anything, I'm just writing the review to help anyone else like me who has a similar annoying and constant fight on their hands."
"The Bausch & Lomb instantly impressed me, though, because there was NO stinging or burning, no wincing or watering eye, no fear of it not calming down or needing to be rinsed out immediately. I knew instantly that for me, personally, the Bausch & Lomb was the clear winner. And that feeling of soothing, comforting, protective relief lasted for at least six hours. Whether there would be a long-term difference, there's no way to tell at this point; but I'm not willing to put the Thera Tears back into either of my eyes since it burns and stings and the B&L does not. (And no, I'm not affiliated with either company--just someone with extremely dry, irritated eyes from winter heating, outdoor wind, aging and too much computer use who didn't know which one to buy, so I bought both and tried them both)."
"It is a good sized bottle and drops come out easily but I have found that these eye drops do not help my dry eyes at all."
"I always have dry eyes."
"They work."
"I have tried so many eye drops with limited success."
"Only drops that work I have dry eye so bad especially at night I can't even open my eyes or move them it hurts so bad."
"Honestly do not know if these work...my eyes feel more refreshed, but doesn't help with redness really."
