Non prescriptions medication (over the counter), doctor wants me to take, where would that go on the tax form

Can I add meals that were purchased to and from the doctors, gas, and also turnpike expenses.  If so, where would these go?

Non prescription medications are not deductible on your tax return. You can claim mileage deductions and toll fees paid traveling to and from medical appointments. Meals are not deductible. 

The deductible expenses are entered as medical expenses. You can only deduct the amount in excess of 10% (7.5% if 65 or older) of your AGI and only if you itemize deductions. To enter them, click on the Search tab and type Schedule A in the search box and click on jump to.
