Lunan:
Falikaqai---"cure leaves"--used for solid medicine such as pills and tablets because they are usually made from ground leaves
Falijata---"cure water"---used for liquid (oral) medicine

A generic word for medicine in Lunan is "falitam" which literally means "anything that cures." This however is only used when the type of medicine is not being specified. Unless, use the three more specific terms above.
