I am just curious if there are typically calories in pills such as ibuprofen or aspirin or things like that. I wouldn't think there would be and if there were I would think it wouldn't be that much.

    Zero. It's not food.

    My vitamins, fish oil, etc have calories. I use about 40 calories a day in vitamins so watch out for these.

    Yes. Some even have a coating of sugar on the outside. But unless you are taking a lot of pills, it is hardly enough to worry about.

    fish oil, flax oil, krill oil etc, are the only supplements with negligible calorie.
