If you need to justify it, the easiest sell is information security.
Chances are you deal with information that is sensitive to the company and you may need to deal with this information in paper form from time to time. Therefore, a lock on the storage cabinet is a requirement, as you have a responsibility to keep this information safe and make sure only the relevant people can get access to these documents, with the consequences of not being able to fulfill those responsibilities usually ranging from dire to business-ending.
This is something your superiors should be able to easily understand and make some sort of provisions for.
However in the case of your prescription medicine, it might be easier to simply use a padlockable bag and a travel lock. That way it is always on you and should be secure. Sure, the bag itself could be stolen, but taking an entire bag is very obvious and very obviously malicious too. That may be only a minor obstacle for a serious thief, but if your company has CCTV, it's not going to be something the thief can hide from that by merely angling their body. Not worth it for a few prescription pills.
