Quick Reference

The CARES Act of 2020 expanded the definition of qualified medical expenses to include over-the-counter (OTC) medicines and drugs without the need for a prescription. Maalox, an antacid used to treat heartburn and indigestion, falls under this category of eligible OTC medications. These expenses are considered qualified because they are for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.

When It Qualifies

  • Must be used for medical care, such as treating heartburn, acid indigestion, or upset stomach.

When It Doesn't

  • Not eligible if used for general health or cosmetic purposes.
