“Qualified Medicine or Drugs” means any medicine, drugs, or medical devices that are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a medicine or drug. These include all treatments that the FDA regulates and that are administered for the treatment of a disease, condition, birth-defect, or accident. Examples include over-the-counter drugs, prescription drugs, certain pet drugs, and medical devices.

Treatments of a cosmetic nature and other items that are not regulated by the FDA as a medicine or drug are not eligible for this deduction. Examples include vitamins and other dietary supplements; cosmetic products such as shampoo, make-up, or face creams; animal food, feed, or vaccines; or tobacco products.
