Section 26 213(d)(3) of the US code defines "prescribed drug" as "a drug or biological which requires a prescription of a physician for its use by an individual."

"Recommended" is not the same as "prescribed". Medications like tylenol that don't require a doctor's prescription don't qualify for deduction.
