Question

I'm thinking Jean Coutu, my pharmacy, could produce a receipt for 2022 re medicines purchased separate from things i.e. shampoo. If so, can I deduct that as med. exp.?

    Hi there! 

     

    Prescription drugs and medicines, not including over-the-counter products, are eligible medical expenses. Receipts are required to claim these costs, so it's well-worth the conversation with your pharmacy.
