Generally, if something was prescribed by a doctor, you can claim it as a medical expense. But, you want to be sure, you can call the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), and  double check with them. If you are in Canada or the United States, you can call the CRA at 1-800-959-8281. If you are elsewhere you can call 613-940-8495. This page has more ways to contact the CRA: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/corporate/contact-information/telephone-numbers.html
