Not aware of freezers or refrigerators on aircraft. Items are pre-frozen and if needed ice / dry ice is used to keep food items chilled.

UA states
Medicine
You should carry your medications with you onboard the flight. In fact, you should never put your medications in your checked bag. Keep in mind that you may be asked to check your carry-on bag at the gate due to space constraints in the cabin. It is your responsibility to remove your medications before giving your bag to a flight attendant or agent at the gate. Our aircraft do not have refrigerators on board, so please plan accordingly. Also, if you use needles to inject medication, have your doctor's prescription with you just in case security officers have questions.
I have gotten ice from FA's for an ice bag.
