AIBU in refusing for a picture of daughters medication to be send to DH ex?

she is demanding a photo of my daughters medication.
my step daughter (11) and my daughter (9) have the same medication. My step daughter, who has ALN, has told the mum that my daughter is taking her medication, which is not the case. They are both prescribed separately. But take it at the same time every night.
The mother believes the step daughter, and refuses to listen to my husband when he told her that my daughter is not taking the step daughters meds, but her own ones.
in the beginning of the conversation, I didn’t even want to give out the information that my daughter was even on this particular medication.
I am not being unreasonable. Am I? She doesn’t seem to understand boundaries and won’t let it drop.

I can't see it hurting, she's just looking out for her kid.

If she thinks that your daughter is taking her daughter's medication can't she just count how much medicine is left in the bottle? Wouldn't that prove that the correct number of tablets are missing?

I have no idea what ALN is but it seems reasonable to send a pic of the prescription label with your daughter’s name on it to end the debate once and for all. I can see why SDs mum is concerned that her daughters medication might be being taken by your dd - surely quite unusual to be on exactly the same prescription medicine but the conversation can be shut down quickly with one photo.
