I took an early withdrawal from a 401K. Can I use medical expenses to reduce the extra taxes on this withdrawal.

I took an early withdrawal on a 401k.  I have pay tax and a penalty on this.  Turbo Tax is trying to reduce this tax for me and is suggesting I enter medical expenses.  I did have high medical expenses in 2017.  Are there any rules for entering these medical expenses.  These would be the same medical expenses I entered on form 1040.
