It is a brand name, not a common word. The medication in Quaalude was methaqualone. It is colloquially acceptable to use "quaaludes" to mean methaqualone tablets, but like many trademarked names, it will show as an incorrect spelling unless capitalized.

(for that matter, some spell checkers reject many valid pharmaceutical names)
