Medical costs for gynaecologist and ante-natal

I have made co-payments to my gynae for ante-natal visits and delivery. How do I claim this back, and can I claim for medication I have paid for over the counter out of my own pocket? My son also visited the dentist, can I claim that as well? Please. Explain. How. Medical claims work. Thanks

Out of pocked medical expenses can be claimed for doctor's visits, operations, medical tests and prescription medication. If you paid for your son and he is under 26 and financially dependent on you then you can claim those as well. You would complete your tax return and put these amounts under the medical section.
