Generic prescription drugs have different colors, shapes and appearances, depending on how they are made and by what pharmaceutical company. This is the same as branded drugs that have different colors, shapes, sizes, etc. What's important isn't how they look but what ingredients are in each drug whether generic or branded. And, generic drugs have the same effective ingredient (medication) as the branded version. However, generics typically cost much less than branded, mainly because generic drug makers have much lower marketing costs associated with their medications, compared to those at branded drug makers.

What prescription drug can look like illegal drugs on a test?

The test administrator will tell the donor, "please list all the prescription medications you are on." You will give them a list of the medicines you take. You're best off telling them the name of the doctor you go to.Then, when the donor comes up positive for a prescription drug, he'll be asked to provide his prescription for it. If you've got one, you're fine.Quick note: if you are in a safety-sensitive function and you're taking a drug that will affect your performance, you are out of service until the drugs clear your system.
