Pill cutters or splitters are available for $5 or $6 at your local drugstore. They are usually made of plastic and use a single edge razor blade. They work fairly well for some pills until the razor blade dulls, but are frustratingly inconsistent for many pills and tend to crumble more pills than they split accurately.

Swiss Pill Cutters are machined from tool quality steel alloy and accurately and consistently split tablets in half or into quarters with little or no waste. Swiss Pill Cutters are very easy to use and are 100% safe because they use blades that are not sharp and never wear out.

Lipitor is the largest selling prescription drug in the World at around $13 Billion in annual sales. Many Lipitor users and many physicians are not aware that the cost to the individual is around $1,300 per year regardless of whether they need the 80 mg tablet, the 40 mg tablet, the 20 mg tablet or the 10 mg tablet. (The 10 mg tablet is slightly cheaper.) The Swiss Pill Cutter for Lipitor accurately and consistently cuts the 80mg, 40mg and 20mg tablet in half or in quarters.

Viagra has a similar price structure. Viagra costs about $15 per tablet regardless of whether it is 25 mg, 50 mg or 100 mg. Very few users require the 100 mg dosage, so it pays for the vast majority of users to cut the tablet in half or in quarters using an accurate pill splitter. The savings are between $7.50 and $11.25 per tablet. If you use Viagra once a week, you can save $390 per year for the 50 mg dosage, or $585 per year for the 25 mg dosage.

Viagra is particularly interesting for several reasons:

• It is difficult to find discounted Viagra. Even the Canadian pharmacies which offer big discounts on other prescription drugs do not seem to discount Viagra.
• Viagra is very difficult to cut accurately with most pill splitters or razor blades due to the hard coating and irregular shape.
• It is not covered by most health insurance programs, so users usually pay full price.

The most effective pill cutter or pill splitter now available is the Viagra Pill Splitter which has been on the market since 1999.

Crestor is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the production of cholesterol in the body. Annual sales are about $1.7 Billion.

The Crestor Pill Cutter will split the 40 mg tablet and the 20 mg tablet in half or in quarters and will split the 10 mg tablet in half.

Will one of the Swiss Pill Cutters Work for You??

It would be difficult to obtain and test the thousands of different prescription drugs that can be successfully split with the Lipitor Cutter, the Viagra Splitter or the Small Pill Cutter

However, I have yet to test a pill or tablet that cannot be easily and consistently split in half or into quarters with one of the Swiss Pill Cutters. (The possible exception is Cialis which easily splits in half but sometimes crumbles when split into quarters.)

Generally speaking, if a pill or tablet is larger than 1/4 inch in diameter, the Lipitor Cutter is the best choice. (The Lipitor Cutter, the Crestor Cutter and the Diovan Cutter are all the same.)

If the pill or tablet is 1/4 inch or smaller in diameter, the Small Pill Cutter is probably the best choice.

If you would like to find out if your prescription pills or tablets can be successfully split, I would ask that you mail three tablets to:

Swiss Precision Cut
PO Box 816
North San Juan, CA 95960

It will take us only a few minutes to determine if the tablet can be easily and accurately split. We will then email you pictures of the results and can mail the split pills back to you if you wish.

or

If you decide to purchase one of the Swiss Pill Cutters and it does not work for any reason, you can exchange it for a different size or return it within 90 days for a full refund.
