A few years ago I forgot to bring my high blood pressure meds with me on a trip to Seattle. I stopped at a Safeway in standpoint as my script was at my local Safeway, and I could not get it filled. I was told even if I had the script from my doctor I could not get it filled unless my doctor was listened in BC. I eventually found a sympathetic pharmacist in Seattle who hooked me up with a short term supply as I had the drug name and din in my phone. My guess is you may run into a similar situation.
As for the price of drugs, the drug pricing marketplace is more complicated than the pricing relationship between a liter of gas and a barrel of oil.
Drugs like humira which sell for hundreds here in Canada, sell for $15 in India.
