Bettina, as you asked, I have located a couple of web sites that show you just what I am talking about when I refer to a pill splitter & crusher. They range in price from $7.95 for the 4 in 1 Pill Splitter/Crusher www.productsforseniors.com/health_page_24.html and the EZ-Swallow Splitter/Crusher that is priced at $14.95 www.viamall.com/comfort/pilcrusandsp.html I am sure that there are many others out there, but here are just a few to get you started. I can asure you that it has made our lives much easier and the cost is so low that you can afford a couple so that you can keep one in the car with extra pills in the attached pill compartment and one in the house to use regularly. Let me know if I can help you or answer any other questions. Also, if anyone thinks that they have found something even better, please let me know! Lynn (:>)
