Can a job deny you for prescription drugs?

A: Generally, no. Asking employees about prescription medications constitutes a medical inquiry under the ADA, in part because it may reveal information about an employee's disability. Medical inquiries may be made of employees only if they are job related and consistent with business necessity.

Do prescription drugs have to be in original containers?

The medication should be in its original container with the doctor's instructions printed on the bottle. If you don't have the original container, bring a copy of your prescription or a letter from your doctor explaining your condition and why you need this medication.
