You want to pay the mandatory $40 copay every time you need OTC Zertac so you can write off $35 worth of medicine towards your HSA/MSA?

It’s even worse for diabetics, and those who use medical equipment that needs replacement frequently.

Why not get a script for those items? If Zyrtec requires that your doctor does a follow up visit before renewal---that's deductible.

If I want to get aspirin, vitamins or nose drops should I be able to deduct the cost?
