  • Abstract
    The pill cutter, according to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) database, is a Class I medical device for tablet splitting. Various types of pill cutters or “tablet splitters” with different price are available in the market. Tablet splitting is commonly practiced to decrease costs because the price between various-sized tablets remains fixed.
