I take full advantage of my Flexible Spending Medical plan, using it to cover over the counter medications like Tylenol Arthritis, Prilosec, and even Goodnights sleep pants for my 6 year old.
The newly passed Health Care reform package will change some of the details of what is FSA elibable in 2011. Over the counter medications will no longer be covered. So be aware and when you do next year's benefits enrollment make sure to take this into account in your calcuations.
