1)Per my recollection, Canada doesn't recognize/fill prescriptions from US doctors. Someone more knowledgeable can confirm this.
2) Unless Walmart has changed recently, you have to "move" a prescription to a site before it can be filled there vs. Walgreen's single database of prescriptions that can be filled at any (US) site.
3)A lot easier to get a "vacation" fill of prescriptions..this is where a pharmacy gives you extra, say a month's worth, to cover you while out of town. Talk with your pharmacy to see if your insurance allows this.
4) Worst case pay for a few extra pills out of pocket, if not exorbitant, so you can just enjoy the trip and not have to stop and fill a prescription.
