Some clients cannot swallow tablets whole, and crushing them on a bench with the back of a spoon wastes medicine and makes a mess. A combined crusher and dispenser keeps the whole job inside one hand held unit.
Tablets are crushed inside the body of the unit and the powder is held ready to tip into food, a drink or onto a spoon, so nothing is lost to the bench. Keeping the chamber closed also keeps the dose together for clients with tremor or poor coordination.
It suits clients with dysphagia, carers managing several medicines at once, and anyone who finds tablet taking the hardest part of the day.
