You never eat your medicine, you always take it.你绝对不能eat你的药,而是应该用take。
The reason that it will always be take and never eat, is because Prescription is derived from the Latin word recipe (ré-kí-peh), which roughly means take this. Regardless of the form, whether injected, imbibed (drank), transfused, absorbed transfermally, implanted surgically or ingested (as with pills), it will always be to take medicine.用take而不用eat的原因大致是因为Prescription (处方、药)这个词来源于拉丁语单词recipe (re-ki-peh),大致意思就是“服用(take this)”。无论是什么形式的,不管是注射进去、喝进去、输血进去、转移性吸收进去、手术植入进去,或是通过药消化进去,都可以用take表示。
Eating means putting food in your mouth, chewing it and then swallowing it.而吃只是意味着把食物放进嘴里,咀嚼,然后吞咽的过程。
正确的说法应该是:
①take/have some medicine
medicine经常与some或sb's搭配
②take ... pillspill可指药丸,药片
如果想表达具体一点,比如「吃几片药丸」,可以说
take 1-2 pills daily每天1到2片(药丸)
take 3 pills twice a day每次3片(药丸),每天2次
例:Her doctor says she has to rest and take medicine twice a day.医生说她必须休息,并且每天要吃两次药。

④ Prescription /prɪˈskrɪp.ʃən/
⑤ tablet /ˈtæb.lət/也可以表示药片,比如:a sleeping tablet一片安眠药a vitamin tablet一片维生素
He'd taken a sleeping tablet the night before and still felt dopey.头天晚上他吃了一片安眠药,第二天仍然觉得昏昏欲睡。
