If it was advised/prescribed by your doctor, it may be deductible. Please see the link below to the IRS list of qualified medical expenses.
You have to itemize deductions to claim these expenses. And there’s another trick, too—medical expenses are only deductible to the extent that they exceed 10% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). If your AGI is $75,000, for example, the first $7,500 of qualified expenses (10% of $75,000) don’t really count for deduction purposes.
For a complete list of qualified medical expenses, see IRS Publication 502.
