it is a prescription product. If you have a copy of the script and the receipt for its purchase as well as documents stating its necessity you should be good. As I am not in any way a tax expert nor do I play one on the internet to be sure you should seek advice from CRA or a chartered accountant. Also, for folks who travel and stay in hotels for the surgery there are provisions for claiming those expenses, but again to ensure you're on side with CRA make sure you know the specifics before claiming and/or have tax advice from a certified tax expert!
