When entering medical expenses, the section for prescription costs is frozen at zero dollars.   It does note that last year I enter an amount, but I am unable to do so.  I can not put in 2018 costs.

There has been a glitch with TurboTax with some of the Schedule A entries. You can switch to forms mode and enter the expenses on the Medical Worksheet until they get it fixed. Do you have the latest update?

This has been a comment for a month and is still not fixed. In addition to a problem for "prescriptions", Doctor/Dentists in "Medical Professionals" screen requires you to go to the forms to enter information.  Further on in that section, the screen in step-by-step gets stuck with Medical travel, not allowing progression to the next screen unless you add a mileage amount, even if I want zero.
