aspirins
Common headache remedy
Aspirins is the plural of aspirin, a common pain reliever and anti-inflammatory medication.
The plural typically refers to individual tablets rather than the substance itself: I took two aspirins for my headache.
Some speakers prefer "aspirin" even when referring to multiple tablets, treating it as an uncountable noun like "medicine."
