Note
A plural that counts drugs one by one. The singular can work as a mass noun covering everything a patient regularly takes (she is on medication), or it can name the act of giving medicine. The plural turns the drugs into separate items you can list, combine or stop. A doctor reviews a patient's medications one at a time, while medication alone speaks of the whole regimen.
