I had a look for you, but it's not easy to nail a product.

I'd recommend visiting your GP practice and speaking with a nurse. They will be able to tell you what to get and where to get it from.

In the meantime I would rub it in your hands to make sure its not stone cold, then wrap it tight in a blanket or some other thick insulation. I wouldn't risk that long term though :~o

Inside your body it will quickly reach 98.6 degrees F (37°C) Much ado about nothing.

So when you say it's freezing do you literally mean below 0 degrees Celsius? How prolonged is that? Becasue if you were living in that environment long term without heating I'd be more worried about your actual health and wellbeing than your meds. Anyway, if it's not literally below zero for twenty four hours straight I wouldn't worry too much, most of the temperature warnings about meds seem to be making sure they don't get too hot. But the cold is really a problem for you try keeping them on or around your body.

Also suspect its aimed more at longer term storage.

Over here in Aussie the mean temperature is hot (above 30C) for at least half the year, what used to work for me is keeping meds in a the wardrobe or clothing drawers maybe in the middle...

Now I don't worry so much as I have ducted air conditioning...

Anyway if that helps your concerns...

Liquid, pills, or patches?

Normally if refrigeration or other temp controls are needed, it will be clearly spelled out on the package and info packet that comes with all medications (at least in the US). Otherwise, temp controls are (imho) only relevant for long-term storage, and even then it's not so much effectiveness as maintaining the structure (pills staying in form instead of dust, patch glue not hardening, etc).
