Order Medications—Patient to Take Own Medication

• This medication is available on formulary at the MGH pharmacy. Allowing patients to take medications brought from outside of MGH bypasses all bar code based safety checking, which is used by the MGH electronic Medication Administration Record (eMAR). You may be contacted by a pharmacist to re-order the medication from MGH formulary.
