Any  medications you're on should be kept in their original containers with 
 prescription label.  This is as important to get back into the US as it  
is to get into Canada.  Do NOT unpack them and carry them in a plastic  bag. 

And yes, US citizens can fill prescriptions in Canada if they  have a 
signed prescription form from their physician.  The pharmacy may  check with your 
physician because you're out of country.

Prices vary  but on the whole, they are less expensive in Canada than in 
the US.  We  also have generic brands that reduce the price and this is what 
most  cross-border shoppers are purchasing.   Note that non-prescription  
medications are also usually cheaper in Canada. Ask the pharmacist if you're  
looking for something specific  - many non-prescription drugs are  available 
but kept behind the counter.

Note there are some provincial  differences between drugs and prices as 
health care is a provincial  responsibility.
