How does someone with a US drug prescription go about getting it fulled in Canada legally?

My sister just had a surgery done and she will need some meds for a while now. We have health insurance but the drugs will still run us about $300 a month and that is a bit much for us to afford. I live near the Canadian border so I was wondering what is required for me to get the meds filled in Canada and then I'll take them back to her in America? I'm not worried about the border police or anything but I just wanted to know what is required of pharmacies in Canada to fill it.

Also, if you've ever done this could you tell me how it worked out for you?

Thanks in advance!!

    A prescription written by a physician licensed in the U.S. is only valid in the U.S. A U.S. pharmacist cannot accept a prescription from another country's licensed physician.
