OTC items are never deductible as medical expenses.
The IRS says "You can include in medical expenses amounts you pay for prescribed medicines and drugs. A prescribed drug is one that requires a prescription by a doctor for its use by an individual."
See IRS Pub 502.
Legitimate medical expenses are still entered on Schedule A for the self-employed.
