In otherwords it is a two part test.
1. Prescription attached to the item in question; and
2. Proof that it is not available in any other form.
Additionally, I have been told that prescriptions written for OTC meds will not be accepted.
This will be a major pain for people who have gotten their medicine/prescriptions in less developed countries. And so some old woman from Nepal is now going to be denied her medicine for an LA to JFK flight and have to make a choice amongst being homeless in LA or dying on the flight between LA and NY or something else sub-optimal.
