A pill splitter for use with pills of complex shapes has a bed which substantially conforms to one-half of the pill. The bed is affixed within the cylindrical lower body of the splitter, into which a blade is affixed. A clearance slot allows the blade to be exposed within the bed at a height such that the pill, when placed in the bed, just touches the blade. A plunger containing guides is inserted in the cylindrical upper body, so that the plunger lies on the upper surface of the pill, along a line directly above the blade. A sharp blow to the cap of the plunger drives the pill onto the blade below, splitting the pill.
