A pill crusher with a pill box built into the same unit, so a client or carer can carry the day’s tablets and the means to crush them in one pocket sized item. That matters for a client who is out of the house for a dose, or who is travelling and cannot spread the routine over a kitchen bench.
The crushing action works on a twist, which is manageable for most clients with reduced hand strength, and the powder is caught in the chamber so the dose is not lost. The storage section holds the tablets that are still to come.
Ask the pharmacist which of your client’s tablets can be crushed, since slow release and enteric coated forms usually cannot. Rinse the chamber between uses.
