Does it split very small pills?

Yes. I have been able to cut a very small pill in half and then cut the halves into fourths, which were just a tad over 1/16th inch square. (The pill was for my kitty.) However, if the pill is somewhat crumbly, it might shatter at such a small size.

I don't know, I haven't tried small pills. The pills I split are very large, and it works great. Wish I could be more help, sorry.

My best guess is yes, this pill cutter will cut without crushing. Prior to purchasing this pill splitter, I tried cutting my pills with a sharp knife and frequently wound up with more pieces than I was hoping for... especially if I was trying to cut the pill into more than 2 pieces. The pill splitter does a much better job.

5 and they are TINY. If you take a lot of pills at one time and need to carry a lot.of doses this won't work.

I too take fish oil and vitamins. While there are four compartments they weren't big enough to hold more than 2 large pills. My husband on the other hand doesn't take as many large pills and it works great for him. It's just not suited for large pills

No, I don't think it'll handle a tablet bigger than about a half-inch. The two diagonal bars that hold the pill in place are an inch apart at the widest point, but aren't flexible enough to grab a pill that big and hold it in place, and a caplet would be even less stable. Most pill splitters are more flexible; maybe look at one of those. But if I were you, I'd go with a single-edged razor blade. I think they'd be easy for a caplet that big - much more accurate and reliable.

I am not sure, since I am using it for sewing purposes. To give you an idea of size, in each section, I fit loosely up to 3 of the most common size prescription containers for pills. Hope that helps.

There is one larger section & two smaller sections but all hold quite a bit. I take up to six pills at a time plus fish oil & a couple of supplements that are quite large. I have no problem fitting everything I take in the sections.

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.

Yes, it has worked very well with different sized pills. I just split a centrum multi vitamin so I could answer your question and it worked well. You just have to position the pills correctly.

Like everyone else I say it depends on the size of the pills. Each of the four compartments holds about 20 of the tiny pills I use the device for. It might hold 4 or 5 large capsules.in each compartment. I only place one pill in each so I know if I skipped any of my doses overnight. I only take 4 of these critical pills each day and that is my way of maintaining control of this medication.

Yes, it breaks into many smaller pieces appx. 1x1" Sorry- I don't have a count but you won't regret the purchase.

This product isn't in tablet form. It's in powdered form. If you aim to split pills, you don't have to worry about that with this; however, you need a scale to weigh out the correct dosage. This is good if you require less of a dose than other products, the math is quick and easy.

Hi, I bought these originally for a cat with multiple problems requiring several small pills a day. I have many other splitters, this is the sharpest and the best. Try positioning the pills with tweezers, silicon sides hold the pill in place. It takes some practice, try to just push part way through and then snap the two pieces apart by hand, this avoids the crumbling. I put several pills into a crusher,after splitting them and then into a single capsule, this way I could give him three or four pills at a time. In short they will split Atenolol.

I can fit 2 pills in it, but my pills are small. They are 1/4 inch in diameter. The pill pockets are moldable, so if the pills stick out a little, you can squeeze the pockets around the pills. You may be better with the capsule size. My dog has to take 2 pills twice a day, so i needed the ones with the least amount of calories. Otherwise I would have gotten the capsule size just to make it a little easier.

We haven't actually tried that but it should work. If you cut the pills in half, then rotate them in the pill cutter, keeping the halves together, you should be able to then cut them again into quarters this time. As long as the pill isn't too tiny this should work. It's a pretty good pill cutter. We've had several that didn't work worth beans and this one works well.

Yes. This is the best pill splitter I have found. I've cut numerous sizes without difficulty. Good luck.

No, it will not sort the pills. It simply has 28 compartments which you fill with the combination of pills you need for each dose.
