Deductions & credits

No. As stated by @photobug56, you can't include in medical expenses amounts you pay for a drug that isn't prescribed (except for insulin). A prescribed drug is one that requires a prescription by a doctor for its use by an individual. This includes medicines that are recommended by a doctor but do not require a prescription, such as over-the-counter eye drops.

 

For more information, please see Publication 502.
