A: Pharmaceutical companies aim to keep consumers monthly prescriptions for a given medication equal. This price equalization is independent of dosage. As a result consumers can save a considerable amount by buying twice their dose, and splitting their pills with the Equadose Pill Splitter.

A: Yes, this is quite commonly done. In fact, there are insurance companies that give you discounted premiums if you split your medications.

A: The Equadose pill cutter has a patented system that allows you to score each pill prior to splitting. The blades are angled in such a way that they will never dull. No more pill crushing. In addition, unlike traditional single-blade pill cutters, the blades come in from both sides. This allows you to line up the cutting blades with the center of your tablet, and split your pill with greater precision. When not in use as a pill splitter, it acts as a pill box with two compartments for pill storage and organization. As a pill case the swivel lid keeps medication safe in your pocket, but is easy to open for use. Equadose is crafted out of sturdy aerospace grade aluminum. We offer a lifetime guarantee on every pill cutter cutter. Who else can say that!

A: While our pill cutter will never dull, its’ blades are not sharp to the touch. To be safest simply close the acrylic cover prior to splitting. Some pills active ingredients break down with exposure to air. Therefore, it is wise that you use the tablet halves as soon as possible after splitting.

A: Not all medications can be cut. Medications that are extended release, enteric-coated capsules, chemotherapy drugs, blood thinners, birth control pills, or anti-seizure medicines should generally not be split. Please consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure about the safety of splitting your medications.

A: YES! There is a LIFETIME guarantee on our Equadose pill splitter and pill box for any defects or failures.
