The tablet is large - 7/8" long and 5/16"wide. Would not recommend for a child. It would need to be cut in at least four pieces for a child with difficulty swallowing

They hold different types of pills. The tablet size ones can hold a single Advil sized pill. The capsule size can hold a larger vitamin sized pill. Hope that helps.

It is the size of a multi-vitamin/mineral, which is not huge but on the large size. I think you could easily break the pill in half.

The tablets are about the size of an aspirin or a little bigger, but they are not smooth or slick, and they start to dissolve quickly. They could be easily crushed and mixed with something. They do have a vitamin flavor, but that could maybe work. If she doesn't have a problem with the taste of them, chewing might be okay for a while. Best of luck!

They are the standard size capsules that you find in most supplements. (sorry don't know the actual number), but either way, I think it may be too large for a young child to swallow whole, you may have to open and put into apple sauce or something.

Small to medium. I have seen smaller pills so some might say medium but I have seen much larger. So I find them easy to swallow; but, if you have a difficult time and since these are simple tablets you could cut them in half. Probably not necessary though.

It's a fairly large pill but it helps digest protein. If you cut 5/8's inch off the end of a lead pencil, that's the size.

I do not know the size of tablet to which you are referencing; but the Esther-C that I bought from Amazon was a chewable, Gummi-bear - like product. Good flavor and good C. Hope this helps.

It can't cut small pills into four pieces; I don't know if it can handle large ones. I use it once a week to cut several pills in half and have had it for several months, and now it's nearly worn out and I need to get a new one. But it did work very well for those several months - better than most I've bought, so I'll likely buy this one again.

The pill is approximately one inch. They are quite large, but easy to swallow.

It is not a chewable tablet. Standard pill shape, however does not seem to be milled particularly hard. My dog has been taking for over a year, absolutely no problem in chewing it. He loves the flavors, considers it a treat. No notches on the pill for cutting, but because it is not very hard or dense, probably not difficult, especially with one of those pill cutting devices found at drug stores, or probably on Amazon.

I ordered this for my son, who was taking a regular sized pill for his epilepsy. His pills at the time were about the size of an eraser in diameter. The opening was so small, I gave it to a coworker to hold her nitroglycerin, which are very small pills.

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.

Each tablet is 20mm by 8mm. No problem for most people but if you have a fear of gagging, read The Wall Street Journal Asia on this article: "Why Is It Hard For Some People to Swallow Pills?".

Hi Felix- The tablets are oval shaped approx. 1/2'' x 1/4. I don't know about capsules. P.S. I think the circles have been discontinued and the oval is the new shape, so perhaps you could receive either.

I don't have the exact measurements. I would say it's smaller than most of the vitamin pills. I have no issue swallowing it.

It is a 'gel-cap' that is just under 20 mm long by less than half that wide at the 'belly' of the oval width. Most people can get it down easy with water. Or, even the large, dry tablets can be swallowed with just a teaspoon of oil like Sesame or Coconut or any tasty such liquid. Hope this helps. [I do know of folks that crush dry pills or even use a pin to open this kind of gel cap and then chew, swallow and wash the mouth with juice to end any taste not otherwise welcome.
