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. You can read more about what qualifies as a medical expense here: https://turbotax.intuit.ca/tips/what-qualifies-as-medical-expenses-when-filing-taxes-5261
