Hello all!  I am scratching my head trying to figure out if there exists a pill cutter that can reliably and accurately cut small pills into quarters.  I have  a blue Apex pill cutter, but I wonder if there is something better on the market.  I am looking for something that is accurate and can save me some time.  Most pill cutters are for use with pills one at a time.  Any suggestions?

Try asking a vet what they use.  They have to cut lots of tiny pills regularly, so I would imagine that they have come up with a pretty good way to do it.

You can purchase an item for precise cutting of pills made to be cut (obviously some pills are in a capsule or are roundish and not really made to be broken sn) at any pharmacy. It is a cheaper option than buying one from a vet. Same is true for most meds depending on drug, bets, and your location. Keep in mind that in some drugs 1/2 of the pill does not mean 1/2 of the drug. I hats that some Big Pharma mbrs do that but there are some whose distribution system is not equal. A good straight knife can work just as well though. Good luck!
