Do pill cutters work on small pills?

Some cutters are better for small pills, while some advertise that they are for large pills. If your pills are tiny, a large cutter may mutilate them, while a small cutter will do the same to large pills. If you need to split pills of many different sizes, look for a cutter that claims it can cut pills of all sizes.

Do I need a pill cutter to cut pills?

Use a pill-splitter, which is a special tool designed to cut pills. It can be purchased at most pharmacies. Don't use a kitchen knife or scissors. Split pills one at a time because some medications lose their effectiveness if exposed to the air after they are split.
