I don't know precisely the best way, but definitely keep them low and maybe in a cabinet. (heat rises)
Unless of course the cabinet causes you to forget them. lol
Totally different issue but I need a similar solution for my flour and other baking supplies. Some days it's too nice to turn on the AC but a bit too warm for my ingredients.
Get one of those small thermometers (get little ones from pet store in the snake/lizard department) and stick in potential areas.
I'm often surprised at how cool a small, dark area can be. I just knew my sunglasses were melting in my car but they were actually cool in the little catchall thingy on the console under the radio. Rest of the car was quite warm.

maybe one of those blue ice thingies, in one of those little soft sided coolers but not touching your med bottle, maybe put your med bottle in a tupperware. Those blue ice things never keep soda's really cold enough but perhaps it would be cool enough for your meds.
I remember avon had a little thermal makeup case at one time to keep your makeup from melting in the car.
baking materials can be stored in the fridge... :) just put them inside a ziploc bag..and keep an open box of baking soda (it deodorizes fridge) in your fridge.
Was also going to suggest.. a soft sided cooler..with an ice pack on the opposite side of your meds. :)

Great MInds think alike, Mary!!
very good suggestions but I was worried about condensation but solved that with those little silica do not eat little canisters that come with one of my meds...
