This the case also on UA - no medications can be kept in the chillers.

There are no freezers onboard. Things like ice cream are packed with dry ice in the chillers until it is time to serve them. The dry ice will often evaporate by the end of a long flight so then it is just regular ice and chillers for the remainder.

About all they can do is give you some ice in a motion sickness bag.
