Bad pills already obtained/dropped will be converted to their "good" counterparts.
If PHD is lost in any way, such as rerolling by the D4 or a Dice Room, or dropping it as Tainted Isaac, pills will remain fully identified, but negative pills will not be converted.
Performing a RERUN with a character that held PHD will still prevent negative pills from spawning, but will no longer identify pills until used.
As bad pills will turn into good pills, it is possible for two different colored pills to have the same effect.

False PHD: Pills can both be good or bad again. Taking a bad pill still applies the benefits from False PHD.

PHD stands for Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and it's the most common degree at the highest academic level awarded following a course of study. Doctorates can be in any study, in Isaac's case, medicine.
