This unique three-piece tablet powdering device crushes tablets into powder effortlessly for easier swallowing. The smooth grinding surface design assures that none of the medication will become impacted into the grinding surfaces resulting in a loss of medication. This feature insures that all of the medication that is crushed can be emptied from the crusher and thus taken by the patient. A tablet container is built into the crusher to store your medication.
Note: Enteric-coated tablets are intended to be swallowed whole and should never be crushed before taking.

They must have changed the product since I first bought this. Judgeing by the picture it's the crusher with the teeth and as someone else said the meds get stuck and you end up with half of what you are trying to get. Skip this crusher. I think [@] has a better designed one now.

The description states that this crusher has the smooth grinding surface which works great. However, they send you the crushers with the "teeth" which don't grind very well and medicine gets left in the crusher. Sending mine back.

Here is the down and dirty. This pill crusher DOES NOT grind your pills to a fine powder. It cannot because of the nature of this grinder. Instead of a crucible type meeting for the crusher, it uses to teeth-like grooves (which never meet or come together enough to cause a complete crush).

I'd give it more stars but you must make sure you at least break the pill in half (depending on the size of it). If it's as big as an aspirin break in half then crush so that the plastic doesn't crack. If you do that then it does crush them very well without waste by leaving powder in crevices like in other crushers I've used. Just be sure to break the pill in half first.
Cleaning instructions: Before using, wash with mild detergent, rinse with warm water and allow to air dry.
1. Unscrew crusher cap and place tablets into container.
2. Screw the crusher cap down tightly against the tablets. Then, with a firm hold on the crusher cap, rotate the crusher cap back and forth to crush the tablets. Repeat this back and forth movement until a uniform powder has been achieved. Each time the cap is rotated back and forth, increase the forward rotation to increase the crushing pressure on the tablets. When the cap can no longer be rotated down onto the tablets, back the rotation off one or two revolutions and tap the container on the table to redistribute the powder. Repeat the back and forth crushing rotation of the cap. Do this several times to achieve an extremely fine powder.
3. Remove cap to empty powdered tablets from container.
4. To store medication, unscrew bottom pill container cover and fill container with tablets. Replace the cover tightly.
