pill popper
Frequent tablet taker
Pill popper is informal, usually disparaging, for someone who takes pills habitually—especially prescription medications like painkillers, sedatives, or stimulants.
The term suggests excessive or casual use: She dismissed him as just another pill popper.
It can also describe anyone who takes many pills, even legitimately: Between my vitamins and prescriptions, I've become a real pill popper.
