There are great options for all of these, but it is critical for you to post the exact parameters you seek. Also, bear in mind that if you have a 24-hour series of scheduled flights, you are really looking for cooling for at least 48 hours to account for disruptions.

You soak it in water for 30 mins and it'll keep stuff cool for 24+ hours, my wife has one for her medication, lots more info on the site
I have used a Frio bag successfully for a medicine that needs to stay between 36 and 86 degrees F. I can recommend it for that temperature range. Works well, and if you get delayed, you just get it wet again.

But you need to know the exact temperature range of your medicine. For example, mine cannot be frozen, so some of the cooler suggestions might be too cold.

Can you share the temperature range range or the medicine name so that we can help you further?
