The system also includes an electronic module or supplemental device releasably attachable to the injection device. The electronic module comprises injection status sensing means for monitoring a status of an injection or for tracking progress of a medication event, as well as a tag reader different from the sensing means for reading drug information from the machine-readable tag. The system includes a drug status signaling or interfacing unit for signaling to a user a drug status based on, or derived from, the drug information.
