Quick Reference
Spermicide is a form of contraception, which is considered medical care for the purpose of affecting a function of the body (prevention of pregnancy). Under IRS rules, expenses for medical care, including birth control, are generally reimbursable. The CARES Act also made over-the-counter medicines and drugs, like spermicide, eligible without a prescription.
