Yes. I would just create one event that repeats each day and ends after 30
days.

And if you wanted to automate the creation of 30 different events, you
could write a little AppleScript to create them in a repeat loop, giving
each one a name with an incrementing counter (Take pill 1, Take pill 2, and
so on).
