Can I claim prescribed weight loss medication?

Yes, if it is for the treatment of a condition diagnosed by a doctor, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease, not just for weight loss.

 

Medical expenses are not fully deductible.  They are only deductible as an itemized deduction to the extent the exceed 7.5% of your AGI.
