CVS walk in clinics may also write common diabetic prescription
@OP: I was in the same boat; my parents baggage was misplaced by Virgin Atlantic. I went to a US doc with the Indian prescription and explained the issue. The doctor wrote a prescription and I collected the medicine from CVS (1 month of medication)
In the meantime, I asked someone to courier the medicines from India which arrived within a week.
Feel free to DM if you have any question about courier or anything else
Do you have a photo / pdf version of the prescription? That will work too
Courier is 100% allowed; I was asked to submit my id proof (passport photocopy) and doctor’s prescription to ensure there are no issues at custom
Why on earth would you let your parents check their critical medications in large luggage?

D2: why say stuff like this? it is a lot harder to be kind than clever. esp in anonymous forums. try practicing
1- use a doc that can charge flat fee
2- download the app GoodRX so that you don’t get stripped at the pharmacy with the prices - it’s very reasonable with the app
3- shipping medications across state lines and internationally is a federal crime so don’t get caught

DHL express?
You can consult local desi docs. They charge flat fees without insurance and can provide prescription untill you make arrangements. Talk to couriers guys like DHL. They will know few medicals/pharma folks who can arrange medication shipment. Believe with indian doctor's prescription medication can be shipped. You may have to double check if perticular medication is banned or not in us

Ask on the SOS global Indians Facebook if anyone is traveling from your home town and can get meds. Then ask your parents' doc if they can write a prescription that can be used as proof at customs. If anyone is willing to help, you can ask them to courier it to you in the US on overnight FedEx and pay them.
