This pill splitter will cut through solid tablets in half. To use, place the pill splitter on a flat surface, open case and place your pill in the v-shaped area. Close the container and press down so the blade splits the pill. Open the container and remove the pill halves. Also has a storage base where you can keep your pills. Hand wash all surfaces in warm, soapy water and towel dry before use. Rinse with water and air dry after cutting pills.
