Half doses are common, and cutting a tablet with a kitchen knife is neither accurate nor safe for a client with tremor or weak hands. A tablet splitter does the job in one controlled press.
The tablet sits in a holder that lines it up, and a hinged blade cuts through when the lid is closed, so both halves stay inside the unit and not on the bench. Because the blade is enclosed, fingers stay away from the cutting edge.
It suits clients managing their own medicines at home and carers splitting doses for several people.
