Today I decided to clear out the 'medicine cabinet' in the bathroom. Both The Old Girl and I take daily dose of various pills that we get on monthly or 3 monthly prescription.
Sometimes the prescriptions change following consultations with our doctors leaving old prescriptions over.
Now and then pills are needed for 'one-off' things like antibiotics for a diverticulitis flare up, a wasp sting or migraine. Usually there are pills left over after a course of treatment and these build up.
I like to think that we are responsible people and only seek prescriptions when absolutely necessary and don't accumulate pharmacy and alternative treatments but it was amazing how much stuff I found to get rid of.
I shudder to think what the wastage is in Pharmac spending so looked it up on the web thingy.

What's the difference between a pill and a pillock? Asking for a friend.
A pill is a tiresomely disagreeable person and a pillock is a stupid or silly person.
With application you could regress to being a pillock. O(c)k?
An anagram of pillock is klopcil, of which you are one.
