can you cut pills that are about 1/8th of an inch

I have had good luck in cutting my pills-just be sure to get them in there evenly-put the holder on a good solid surface and give it a good whack--you can't just push it down---but if you whack it hard, the pills are evenly cut. Best I've seen--you can do 7 pills at a time.

So far, I haven't found a pill I couldn't split. I am extremely happy with this purchase as I take 28 pills a day (!) and two of them that are quite small have to be split. The rest are larger but I take them whole. 1/8 of an inch should be no problem at all.

Yes, you can split pills that are very small. I would not try that on my own very small tablets because I could not control/know if they split exactly in half, especially for rectangular shaped medicines. Splitting something 1/8 of an inch results in two 1/16 inch halves. I feel that is too small for me to confidently know my pill is split exactly in half. If the dosage is not critical I would use this pill splitter for 1/8 inch pills.

They can be cut, they are not capsules. If you crush these they would turn into powder, I believe.

That's why I bought it, but although it halves small pills fine, when you try to split the halves, some of it crumbles. If you're trying to cut a big tablet, you shouldn't have any trouble.

It depends on your cut, and make sure its not that thick in diameter.8 inches long, diameter should no thicker than a pencil.

When you cut them cut 1/8 of an inch , that way it will still be slightly curved on both ends. It doesnt matter where you cut.

You can easily trim off less then 1/4 inch. Probably as little as 1/16 inch.

They are slightly smaller than a dime. You can cut it into one half or one fourth.

the size of an aspirin (around 1/4" in diameter)...if they are still too big for you then you can cut them in half or quarters and swallow them easily

I've never had an issue with that. So long as you put the pill in straight, it should cut it fine.

I don't know. I ordered the ones that were the size of the wound. They are medicated and if you cut the package, I don't know how that would affect the part that was not immediately applied to the wound. They do work very well though.

Hello. Yes, u can use a good sized kitchen knife or a pill cutter if you can find one large enough. Make sure it's a clean cut. You don't want the tab to crumble.

Yes. They are about 3/4" long 1/4" wide and almost 1/4" thick. If you have trouble taking large pills, you would have trouble with these.

You can but when a tablet is cut it can become sharp which can reduce the ease of swallowing. mag pills are known to be cumbersome

I'm not sure if a pill cutter would work to split exactly but the tablets are not scored to break in half.

The tablets are rather large. I would imagine you could cut them down, though there is no slit in the middle to help you. I have no problem swallowing them whole. But, if you struggle with large pills, you may have a hard time with these whole. They are fantastic vitamins though, and I researched them pretty thoroughly. Just for the sake of honestly answering you. I tried, it wasn't too difficult to cut in half with a chef's knife.

It can but not easily. Once the pill is no longer circular the mechanism keeping the pill in place to cut basically doesn't work. You have to manually manipulate it. I went back to using a regular pill cutter. I find it easier.

you can not adjust the size of the cut. But for cutting a pill in half it is the best.
