Reading through the posts I often see questions about tapering prednisone and other medication, etc. It is easy with a pill splitter no matter what mg. the pill is. Our pharmacy gives us them free. This one cuts about any shape anyway you want - they are worth the investment.

My husband takes 17 whole and 1/2 pills a day. I take 12 - some need to be split. The VA hospital saves money by having you split them instead of smaller doses.
