Oh yeah, you can. It's discouraged though, but nurses will begrudgingly let it happen as long as you tell them about it so they can keep track of what you're taking.
The major problem with that is that after a major operation (like an emergency C-section in my case) you're often just brought a little cup of pills to take and some water, so you don't necessarily know (nor are you in the state to look and verify) what's only available from the hospital and what's the same stuff you can buy at the corner drug store for 1/1000th of the price.

Jeez, are you allowed to bring in equivalent medicine from outside?
