ChicagoCraig's reminded that I had to throw away medication because I unwittingly took it out during a winter camping trip. From my understanding, nearly all of our over-the-counter medicine doesn't like to go below freezing, so I threw it out (most within 6 months expiration anyway). I've had Wilderness First Aid training, and planned on taking an EMT course some time in the future. Pretty much for both of these, I wouldn't be giving medication to others. I think I know the limits of most of this type of medication (I read the box, and read other things online. Above all, if I screw up, it's my fault).

So, the question I have: How can I take "simple" medications with me when I'm going to be out during below 40F weather? Things like triple anti-biotic cream, anti-diarrhea, and pain meds.
