Do I understand correctly the use of "medicines / pills"?
If it's only 1 tablet, I say: Take a pill. / Take your pill. / Take your medicine. / Take your med.

If it's more than 1 tablets, I say: Take some pills. / Take your pills. / Take your medicines. / Take your meds.

What's the most common and natural way to say it?

Thanks you.

Answer

no, 'medicine' (non-count) is anything that you take.
'pills' are tablets or capsules

Answer

Hello! I use it this way: medicine=drug and pill=tablet. A tablet or a pill contains the medicine... so it depends on the context and sometimes they could be used as synonyms. But I'm not a native speaker, let's see what they say :)
