Go to www.Google.com and do a search on tablet splitter or pill cutter. You will get a whole bunch of choices.
The easiest thing to do is to get one from the pharmacist where you get your prescriptions filled. Even if you don't buy any of your medication there, these places (drugstore aka apothecary aka chemist) sell these things all the time. They will think nothing of selling you one. If they ask what you need it for, tell them you take some vitamin tablets that are hard to swallow. (They will not ask or even care).
If you do buy one online, you don't need anything fancy. This is similar to one I got at "Rite Aid". I think it was 6 dollars or so. There is a razor blade in the lid... when you close the lid it cuts your tablet.
I have the exact pill cutter that arfy's pict shows. Bought it at Rite-Aid, go figure?
I think it was $9. And it was available on a rack after I asked the pharmacist where it was.
The cutter works great on even big pills, and breezes through cutting the Proscar if you give it one good, firm chop.
