pill crusher

Medicine grinding tool

A pill crusher is a device for grinding tablets into powder, making medication easier to swallow for people who have difficulty with pills.

The simplest versions work like a mortar and pestle; others use a twisting mechanism.

Pharmacies, nursing homes, and caregivers use them routinely: She put the tablet in the pill crusher and mixed the powder into applesauce.
