I'm getting an increasing amount of users register on our site containing user names like "generic viagra without a doctor" or "cialis without a prescription". I have reCaptcha enabled but they are getting past that.
Can I prevent user names that contain viagra or cialis or is there a better way to prevent this?

Hello,

yes, the feature you're looking for is the Bad Words one.
It will block any request that will contain specific keywords, so it should block creation of "viagra" users.
