Crushing tablets by hand in a spoon is messy and loses half the dose. This crusher does the job in one twist, reducing a tablet to a fine powder that can be stirred through food or a drink for a client who cannot swallow whole tablets.
It suits carers and support workers managing medication rounds at home, and clients with dysphagia, reduced hand strength or a swallowing plan that calls for crushed doses. The action needs very little grip, and the powder stays in the chamber so nothing is lost on the bench.
Check with the pharmacist first, since not every tablet can be crushed. Wash and dry the chamber between doses so residue does not carry over.
