Quick Reference
The IRS considers medicines and drugs that are not prescribed to be qualified medical expenses. This eligibility was expanded by the CARES Act in 2020, making over-the-counter (OTC) medications, including infant gas relief, eligible without a prescription. These products are used to alleviate a medical condition, such as infant gas and discomfort.
When It Qualifies
