Vitamins and probiotics are ok.
Medicines really depend on which medicine and why you are using them.
Remember that birds feeding chicks drink more water so are ingesting higher doses of medications. This can sometimes be at toxic levels.
There is no blanket rule for all medicines but if in doubt don't medicate, unless you have to.
You really need to speak to a vet familiar with birds to advise you on what medications to use and how to use them safely and effectively.
