Treatment vs medication

Hi somegirl

Don't apologise for asking a question. None of us know what we don't know and DWP questions are often confusing. I would put in in the medication and I would also include a page of information off the website that you linked to - because whoever looks at the form probably won't know what it is - if you don't put in an explanation.
