Plural nouns
In Italian, most nouns form the plural by changing the ending: -a to -e (feminine) and -o to -i (masculine).
Adjective agreement
Adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify; here 'antisettiche' matches the feminine plural 'salviette'.
Comma usage in lists
When enumerating items, commas separate each element; the final period ends the whole list.
Masculine plural adjective omission
The adjective 'antidolorifici' is omitted because the noun itself already conveys the meaning (painkillers).
