You can claim the money paid for medicine for your in-law if you are able to claim your in-law as a dependent on your tax return.
According to the IRS Publication 502, you can include medical expenses you paid for an individual that would have been your dependent except that:
1. He or she received gross income of $4,200 or more in 2019;
2. He or she filed a joint return for 2019; or
3. You, or your spouse if filing jointly, could be claimed
If eligible to claim the expenses, then enter the cost of the prescriptions in the Medical Expenses section of your return.
To those who are not dependents, your contribution was a gift and is not deductible.
