A drug is sold under the name given the drug by the manufacturer these drug names are always spelled with a capital letter?

Short answer: Brand (trade) drug names are typically capitalized, but generic (nonproprietary) names are not.

- Brand/trade names: capitalized (e.g., Tylenol, Lipitor). Often with a ™ or ® symbol.
- Generic names (INN/nonproprietary): lowercase (e.g., acetaminophen, ibuprofen), unless starting a sentence.

So the statement is true for brand names, but not for all drug names. Examples: Tylenol (brand, capitalized) vs acetaminophen (generic, lowercase).
