An employer cannot base their hiring decision on whether or not a candidate is taking prescription medication. As a matter of fact, this is not a legal question for an employer to ask on and application or during an interview.

If you have a prescription what will happen on drug test?
If you test positive fro a drug that you require on the recommendation of a doctor then that would explain why you are using as oposed to abusing a particular drug. You tell whomever it is that is ordering your drug test (not the lab) that you are taking prescription medication that will cause a positive result on your drug screen (assuming that the medication that you are on is actually one of the drugs tested for), and give him/her a copy of your prescription. Your doctor doesn't need to explain anything-that's what the prescription is for.

If you have a prescription for a drug and inform the testers about it, you pass the drug test. You might show positive for the drug, but with a prescription it's supposed to be in you.

Does adderall show up in a drug screening?
Adderall is a time-release form of amphetamine. It will show up on drug screening tests as such. You should show your prescription to the person collecting your specimen, and make sure that your prescription is noted on the paperwork sent to the laboratory. Ordinarily, employers will disregard positive results on medicines for which the employee or applicant has a prescription, but you probably should not assume this. Check your employer's policy on prescription drugs.
