Mortar and Pestle or Shave?


[CM...]

Recommended Posts

For those of you dry cutting with a scale, are you using a mortar and pestle and crushing them, or are you just shaving the pills? What’s more accurate?

Crushing and weighing is more "accurate", but accuracy really isn't very important.  The important characteristic of a microptaper is  making  gradual reductions, NOT accurate reductions.

First of all, great work on tapering!

 

I've been dry cutting straight from Ativan with success. I cut the pill with the razor and then use the razor to shave / chip away at the pill until I get to my desired weight.

 

My concern with mortar and pestle would be to lose x quantity, however, if it works for you then keep it going. I'm pretty sure all of us have our own techniques and if it works... it's good.

 

I sincerely wish you all the best and would be happy to answer any questions.
