Why don't you just give the chemical name -- tranylcypromine sulfate. A medical professional would know what this is; I doubt that a coach would. People take all sorts of meds for all sorts of reasons, and it's really just between the doctor and patient.
Personally, I wouldn't care anyway, but this approach would provide the required info with less chance of disclosing the reason for the prescription. And if the sports people ask, you could just say it's "personal" (or give some vague answer like "it's for a neurological condition", which would be true). Really, I doubt anyone would investigate very closely.
