A tablet splitter helps patients and caregivers divide tablets into smaller, accurate doses, making medication easier to swallow, more affordable, and better tailored to individual needs. It is especially useful in geriatric and pediatric care.
Benefits:
- Ensures accurate dosing compared to breaking tablets by hand.
- Helps with cost savings by buying larger‑dose tablets and splitting them.
- Makes tablets easier to swallow, especially for children and elderly.
- Provides convenience for caregivers when preparing doses.
- Allows flexibility in treatment (dose adjustments, titration)
Precautions:
- Not all tablets can be split (e.g., coated or extended‑release types). Always check with a pharmacist first.
