There is no definitive answer to this question as Medicare coverage varies from person to person. However, some pill dispensers may be covered by Medicare if they are considered to be medically necessary. For example, if a person has a disability that makes it difficult to open pill bottles, a pill dispenser may be covered. It is always best to check with Medicare to see if coverage is available.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the type and purpose of the pill. Some pills are designed to be taken whole, while others may be better absorbed by the body when they are crushed. If you are unsure whether or not you should crush your pill, speak to a healthcare professional.
Most pills can be crushed or divided, but there are a few exceptions. Pills that are enteric coated or time release should never be crushed or divided, as this could alter the way they are meant to be released into the body. Some pills may also have a special coating that is designed to protect your stomach from the medication, so crushing or dividing these pills may cause irritation. If you are unsure whether or not your medication can be crushed or divided, it is best to check with your pharmacist or doctor.

UPDATE: I recently purchased a second one for use during our two-week vacation. I reasoned that it would be preferable to taking all of his medications for two weeks. It was damaged. Its two snap-on plastic components that keep it closed were broken off. Thus, it doesn't shut. It claims it's not a returnable item when I go to return it so I may order another one. As a result, I've run out of money and must either find another one or buy another, hoping it isn't damaged. Not too pleased with that.For his epilepsy, my kid takes medication three times a day. We used to have a different pill organizer, but if you dropped it, the pills would fly all over the place. Since it is in a larger case, it has double the protection, so even if you drop it, it will still work. I also like that we don't have to put his afternoon medicines in a bag and carry them with us; we can just grab the single-day case to bring with us and he can take his medications while we aren't home. This has made it so much simpler to administer his meds!

People claimed that it was backwards or out of sequence by days, etc., so I was a little wary after reading several reviews. The first thing you need know is that the bins are arranged in two rows and are placed on a tray. In order to make the release tabs accessible when using the tray, the two rows of bins must be placed back to back. The tray basically only serves to hold the two rows back to back; you are not need to use it. If you don't want the tray, you can rearrange the lids such that both rows read Sunday through Saturday and the colors are arranged appropriately. I like the pop-open design of this product because it eliminates the need to struggle to open the lids and it appears to be of high quality.

I'm very glad I purchased this pill cutter! Some are really pricey, but this one was reasonably priced and well-made. Strong, effective, and makes beautiful pill cuts! In order to have a precise cut, place the pill cutter on a flat surface with the line of the pill directly in the centre. If not, the cut will be uneven and the pill may crumble. *** Such a fantastic item that is very affordable. I wholeheartedly advise purchasing this cutter as opposed to the pricier models.

Latest news:This cutter has been working as intended for quite some time without showing any signs of wear and tear, as mentioned in the description. I believe that merits an additional star.Other family members may prefer the traditional method, but if you get used to it, this one has its purposes and is relatively easy to use.Update: Due to my chronic illness, it wasn't always possible for me to respond to the seller's reply and replace the product URL earlier. So be it.I've been using this pill splitter, though, for a long now. I wanted to elaborate on what I believed.This splitter has performed admirably for the 4 mg methylprednisolone tablet shown in the photo I supplied, which has a scored surface for both horizontal and longitudinal splitting. Contrary to other splitters, it does split with less crumbling. These little pills are cut into even smaller bits because I use this to divide them into quarters. It does a respectable job at it.There are two key constraints I've found:1) To position the pill, you must first hold it in place before closing the device and letting the blades apply enough pressure to secure it for you. Here, people with poor hand dexterity or eye challenges are likely to experience difficulties. The blue guard is safer, but it adds an extra step that people are likely to avoid, and it's incredibly, really simple to pinch your skin at the bottom half of the device when it closes. Additionally, sick people are always saving energy by omitting processes. Additionally, it's nearly tough to use in dim lighting.2) Centering and maintaining the center of thin, flat pills with scored surfaces is not too difficult. However, getting an exact split for precise dosing becomes far more challenging with bigger tablets, unscored pills, and pills with domed surfaces. If the pill is thicker, the split will also have an angle since the blades meet at an angle to the surface of the pill (such as thick caplets). The blade will tend to slip if the pill surface is domed and not scored, and centering the blade will be quite challenging (this does not work as well at evenly splitting my Armour Thyroid, for example).Overall, I've been somewhat satisfied with this device, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone who needs to split a lot of really thick pills without scoring the pills beforehand.Earlier reviewI divide pills because I use drugs that aren't accessible in the dosage I require. I thought this would help with dosing accuracy.I didn't immediately recognize the problem when I got it; all I could think of was how it may possibly function. I noticed that the pill centering divot is significantly off-center when I looked more closely. The pill cannot be centered for splitting.Initially, I believed it had to be a flaw in the design, but after more examination, I realized there was no way to center it given the way it was made. The revolving design means that the cutting blade enters at an angle, as my spouse and I both have engineering degrees.The centering divot is useless for tiny tablets, and it also doesn't leave a smooth surface on which to lay the pill.Expect no splitting marvels from the cutting edge, but it does function effectively. You will have to eyeball it if your pills don't have a central score and aren't the appropriate size/shape for the divot (roughly the size of a Tylenol caplet). Additionally, you must hold the pill firmly in place because it is not intended to stabilize the pill.I really prefer Ezy-Cut Pill Cutter with Built-in Magnifier - Comes with Yellow 8 Compartment Pill Box's standard design for centering (Cutter Color Varies)

Okay, so this is a pill crusher. It need to powderize the pill fragments. Yes, it does that.But what's this? This is also accomplished by the flat side of a porcelain bowl and a metal teaspoon.I should be aware! I've been crushing my vitamin pills in this manner for at least ten years. Tell you what, that approach is effective.Also, let me say that method is a pain in the a**!Get the right-sized bowl first, one that is flat enough to allow the spoon's back to push into the bottom of the bowl. The middle of the pill is then pressed with the back of the spoon. But be careful! The pill has the ability to move out and fly across the room. Or, the pill might break into a few tiny bits that scurry around the room. You still need to re-crush the pieces that aren't powder if it doesn't do that. Over and over. once more. And once more... and one more Grrr, my wrist and thumb hurt!Compare it to the Ezy Crush Pill Crusher with Ergo Grip now.Three parts make up the crusher. It has a top portion with a kind of screw-threaded cylindrical plastic pestle that tapers to a gentle point (top side). A reservoir that is the exact opposite of the pestle and has screw threads on the outside makes up the companion side (bottom side). These are created from tough plastic. The unit's exterior contains softer plastic grippers that resemble the gears of a clock (see photo). The reservoir at the bottom of the crusher is constructed of transparent plastic, allowing you to see if the pill has been crushed or not. Finally, there is a place to keep additional pills inside the pestle's top portion. The lid for this storage space is the third component of the device. (Since the three pieces completely separate from one another, I think there is a very slim chance of losing a piece of the apparatus.)You insert the pill into the reservoir to make it work. The pestle is then inserted via the screw holes into the bottom part. The top is then rotated and tightened by screwing it into the bottom portion. I'm done now! The reservoir contains powder when you unscrew the top. Because the handles have a broader radius than the pestle, you get more torque and a longer moment arm. Therefore, you don't need to use much force to create extremely high pressure inside the pestle. Additionally, they are built of softer, cozier, and more gripping plastic. So it's quite simple for old folks (not me), feeble people (not me), and lazy people (me!) to turn. (The Ergo Grip is here for you!!!) The powder is then simply shaken out wherever you need it. For storage, screw it back together.However, there were a few minor errors I found that you might want to be aware of:First first, the item had a slight new plastic scent when it arrived. The scent was eliminated after I cleaned the appliance with water and Dawn dishwashing detergent.The second issue is that if you crush the pill too tightly, it will sort of re-crush and become attached to the pestle. The jammed pill on the pestle needs to be broken off and thrown back into the reservoir. You may lose some of it if you are not careful.Third, to completely turn it into fine powder, you might need to re-crush it a second or third time. I came up with a sound strategy. To get the pill powder moving inside the reservoir, crush the pill, slightly loosen the thread (but do not completely unscrew it), and shake it. Re-crush it by cranking the handle once more. Repeat the action two or three times. It happens in a matter of seconds. Most likely less than that. perhaps 15 seconds.Fourth, a minor amount of pill powder will continue to adhere to the reservoir's inside. This is so insignificant that it almost doesn't matter. With your finger, you can scrape away the tiniest amount that is still there, but it hardly amounts to anything.Overall, this represents a REALLY SIGNIFICANT advance in technology. It has transformed a task that was previously a time-consuming bother for me into something that can be finished quickly, painlessly, simply (no more sore wrists! ), and correctly.I give that five stars!Thank you, Ezy Crush with Ergo Grip Pill Crusher!You are the very best!*sigh* :)

4.5 stars because aligning the halves for the quarters requires some practice. (Tip: Use a toothpick or other small, pointed object to help you position them. The first time, I applied a pen cap.)I got this for my 5-pound, 18-year-old cat's medication to minimize costs. I now have to quarter a lot of already little pills. I tried a number of alternative cutters, but they all produced crushed or irregularly shaped pills. I eventually gave up trying to locate one that works and have been manually cutting the tablets with a sharp pairing knife for the past few years.He recently started taking another prescription, but when I went to break it into quarters, it just crumbled to dust. I was lucky to get 2 excellent dosages out of one pill instead of four, so I resumed my search for a pill cutter and chose this one. On such medications, it works really well. I had a little crushing, but overall, 4 good doses. With time, practice, and the proper hand location on the top/blade and pressure, I anticipate that the crushing will go away.I'm glad I got it, though. Cutting pills now moves much more quickly. Additionally, it works well to secure capsules during filling. empty ones that are awaiting filling. Or filled ones that are awaiting topping.

Small oval tablets will operate with the cutter/splitter and open easily. The secret is to be patient. Position the small oval pill so that its edges are contained by the pill guide (triangle shape). Pushing the pill in will cause the guide's sides to bend and move your pill. Simply ease it in across the board. After that, gently close the top and snap it shut without bumping the splitter. We'll split your pill into two equal pieces. Use the pill's score line, if it has one, as a reference to position it straight. The pill will still cut if you draw it in vertically, but because of its oval shape, it is more likely to split. In my photos, you can see that I sliced one pill vertically (I grew smarter), and then I cut the remaining pills horizontally, as seen in the lower holder. I discovered it was simpler to open the box by firmly grasping either side close to the opening's base and then pulling the top open. That method worked better than pressing harder to open.

Let me begin by stating that there is no perfect pill splitter. Although there are many negative reviews, I understand that many individuals do not regularly replace their pill splitter. Every pill splitter includes a razor-like tool. The blade will become dull and break your pills if you keep using it without replacing it. If you don't update your facial razor, it will become dull.I had low expectations for this pill splitter because it is so affordable. But I must admit that I've been pleasantly surprised. Every week, I have to take one pill half way. So, on Sunday night, I complete all 14 halves.I was surprised to receive nearly flawless halves with NO MUTILATION or pill crushing.I also tested this on a few extremely tiny tablets and other medications I need to start taking, but I have terrible medication phobia, which basically means I'm afraid to attempt a drug I've never taken before.But thanks to the pill splitter, I can break them up into little bits so I can test them out in small doses first.Positives: Before splitting your pill, you may see it via the clear window.Generally reliable splitsThe pill is held in place by silicone.worked on the smallest tablets possibleDO NOT CRUSHvery affordableI use a cotton ball and alcohol to clean because it's simple.Blade does not descend unless you have eaten closing the tool for avoiding skin or finger cutsCons: The only little drawback I can think of is that cleaning the blade is a little challenging because it only retracts while you're breaking a pill.If you must divide any kind of medication... I would absolutely recommend this very affordable pill splitter, even to the smallest. Why spend a fortune to have uneven pieces or have your tablets crushed? With the expense, you may have a new blade by replacing it every few months.I've included some images. I sincerely hope you can use it. If you have any queries, please contact me.

The Veterans Health Care System is where I receive all of my medical care. I am required to take roughly a dozen medicines a day by my doctors. Many of which need to be sliced in half. They included a pill cutter, but it is made entirely of plastic, lacks an actual blade, and is difficult to use on any non-round pill. I fought to come up with something that would be more effective.Like everything else on Amazon, this one had extremely positive and unfavorable ratings when I found it. I chose to give it a go. I adore the way that this device holds the pills. I put a pill in my mouth, any form, and slide that tiny device forward to stabilize it. I haven't yet had a pill that was crushed or that wasn't cut in the middle. Trying to chop pills with my previous cutter was always so time-consuming. They would either be broken in half or would not even come close to being the same size.I have just one problem. I am unable to dispose of the medications. Even though there is a tray there to place the sliced pills, they won't dump. I sometimes have to shake the item to get the bit of pill out because they occasionally get trapped close to the hinges. Although I'll figure it out, it doesn't really matter to me. I'll take this over my previous cutter any day because it completely eliminates the frustration of attempting to center and cut long or oval pills. Although it doesn't seem very robust, its sole use is to slice a pill. How durable should it be? If I ever break this one, I won't have any trouble purchasing another. That's how much I like it. You will also.
Yes, you can crush tablets and put them in water. Doing so may make it easier to take the medication, but it may also change how well the drug works. Check with your pharmacist or doctor to see if crushing is okay for your specific medication.
A pill splitter is a small tool that is used to cut pills in half. It is important to have a pill splitter when splitting pills because it helps to ensure that the pill is cut evenly. It is possible to split a pill without a pill splitter, but it is more difficult to do so and there is a greater risk of the pill being cut unevenly.
Do pharmacies charge for Dosette boxes? In short, the answer is no. Pharmacies are not able to charge for Dosette boxes, as they are considered a medical device and therefore exempt from GST.
Yes, pharmacies have pill splitters. A pill splitter is a tool that helps you cut your pills in half, so you can take a lower dose if you need to.
Pill splitters are devices that are used to cut pills in half so that they can be taken more easily or to reduce the dosage. They typically have a small, sharp blade that is inserted into the pill and then moved across it to split it in half. Some pill splitters also have a storage compartment for the halves of the pill so that they can be taken at a later time.
Pill organizers are small containers that are used to store pills and capsules. They usually have compartments for each day of the week, and can be used to store medication for both short- and long-term use.
