Since a lot of people here "are of a certain age"...
I'm looking for recommendations on a pill cutter/splitter to cut prescription pills in half.
We got one for the last dogs heart meds, but it shattered pills more than it cut and left powdered pill all over.
With the empty store shelves, I've been skipping meals and in the process have lost about 34lbs so far since 'rona started in mid-March.
Combine the weight loss with the lack of caffeine, my blood pressure is down 20-30pts. Dr. Google suggests a reduction in BP med dosage. Since I got 180 days of BP meds, I thought I'd start splitting 1 pill out of 7 a week for a 14.3% overall weekly dose reduction, taking the 1/2 pills about 3-4 days apart to smooth things out. If I keep refilling at the same size, this would also extend supplies an extra 52 days a year.
Any of you pill poppers have a brand/model of splitter you're happy with and would recommend?
