A pill cutter device for simultaneously cutting one or more pills and a method of using the same. The pill cutter device includes a lower housing having a top wall and a pair of rails that extends longitudinally along the top wall and are movable laterally toward and away from each other. A pill holder is engaged on each rail and is slidable longitudinally therealong towards and away from a retaining wall. Each rail includes a resilient pad and pills placed on the top wall are moved by the rails and pill holder into alignment with the longitudinal axis of the device. The pills are captured and held immobile between the two resilient pads, the pill holders, and the retaining wall. An upper housing is movable toward the lower housing and downward movement thereof brings a longitudinally aligned cutter blade into contact with the pills to cut the same.
