You would not even get in trouble. It is needed and perscribed. You are not doing illegal drugs.

Whew, oh ok, so steroids are ok?

I guess there are a lot of weight reduction drugs. If you are using meth to knock off a few pounds, you may want to talk to your Dr. about changing your prescription.
Just kidding.
No drug screens, yet....
