how well does it work on tiny pills?

I take a medication that is quite tiny, I would estimate it to be about 1/8" diameter. Before answering your question, I just tried it in the pill cutter and didn't have any difficulty. Another reviewer complained about the orange part being uneven. Mine isn't, so it would be able to split small pills successfully. If you receive one with the defect mentioned I would recommend exchanging it.

This pill splitter is awful. I would have sent it back but it wasn't worth the effort. One side of the orange V is offset so that it does not cut pills in the center. I have to squeeze the lid part to one side to try to get the pill approximately in half. A complete waste of money.

I have thyroid pills very small one was round and the other oval it cut them very good, just have to place it in the right spot definitely easier with the oval pill but still cuts it very good.

I've had no problem with smaller pills. I've even used it to cut small pills into quarters.

They are very small. I take 3 or 4 of them at a time sometimes and never have a problem.

i would use this for a variety of sizes of round pills only... i have better luck using a knife for oval or oblong pills

I've only had it a month but it seems to not be dull at all.. but for a couple of dollars, get a couple if worried.. I use it about 1c a week to split the next week's pills.. good luck!

It cuts more straight than other pill cutters I have tried. The trick I have found is to place the pill in the tip of the triangle and then tip the splitter downwards with the pill and triangle tip (towards the shorter end of the cutter) downwards. And do not push the pill in. Just let it slide downwards on its own. Then cut very quickly. More times than not I get a very clean cut with this method. It does vary by pill however. Some pills are just made so that they do not cut well no matter the cutter. But 9 times out of 10 I get a good cut with most pills.

Hello, to answer your question, no. The capsules are not small and the instructions require that you take four pills each time that you use them. If you have a problem taking pills I would imagine these would be tough on you. If its worth the hassle and pain of taking them, they really do work well. Hope this helps!

Yes, it easily handles from one to however many pills fit in the length of the channel. I have had this a few months, and it is SO MUCH BETTER than the normal "1-pill" cutters. When I get a new bottle of pills that need halving, I take 5 minutes and split all the pills I got right away.

It's a smallish capsule - larger than a pill but smaller and thinner than most other capsules I have seen

I didn't pay attention. But it seems to work fine. This is a VERY small bottle size so just be warned on that. It is not the full size but more of a travel size. It has lasted me over 30 days because I don't use it daily. This seems to work for keeping my daughter's acne cleared up and helps with my occasional outbreaks as well. Hope that helps.

Even though the pill I give my dog is small, I purchase the capsule size pill pockets. Tear the pill pocket in half and 25 pill pockets become 50. Works great!

I have used it successfully with those really small "sugar" and "ghost" ants that come in the house. It also worked on the larger ants going up the wall of my home toward the roof. I really bought too much--I still have quite a bit left and have only had to retreat 2-3 times since I bought it at least several years ago.

Not small. It is an oblong pill which, if broken in half, is still not small.

They're quite small. A little smaller than a solid (not liquid capsule) ibuprofen.

Yes they are small and are very easy to swallow, they also work really well!

The pills are very small. I have one kid that can swallow without a problem and another one that has an issue. I have been flicking the pill to the back of his throat (one at a time). For my kid it is totally a mental thing.

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

I have been using pills 6 month old and they still work. Each pill is a capsule with powder inside each sealed in it's own container.
