Except for insulin, which is specifically singled out, no. Only prescription medications may be claimed.

This is covered in IRS Publication 502. You should consult that document, which is both definitive and has an exhaustive list (with examples) of what sorts of medical expenses can be included in your medical deduction and what sorts cannot.
