If you meant "What is a drug name used by several companies?" then the answer would be a generic drug. An example of a generic drug would be aspirin.
Pharmaceutical companies, when designing a drug, obtain a patent so that no other company can manufacture the same drug. This patent typically lasts 17-20 years. After the patent has expired, any other company can manufacture the same drug. This is where generic drugs come in. They are the same active ingredient, dose, dosage form, route of administration, and are tested and shown to be bioequivalent. Thus, drugs that were once on patent can have a generic equivalent that is much less expensive to the consumer but work the same as the brand name drug.
Many companies do not drug test, but they reserve the right to test you at any time without warning.
