No, I have spoken with others on this site about problems with applying for medical jobs and or positions and being asked for complete medical records. In fact just today I went to see my GP who filled out my nursing form. My GP stated the amount of information the local hospital ( where I will be applying at to WORK in..) has on my condition is a very large amount.
Junerain, employers can ask about any medications you are on HOWEVER the information is supposed to remain confidential within the HR department.
