What is claimed is: 1. A device for storing and transporting medication, comprising: an outer shell, having an interior surface and an exterior surface, said shell being split substantially along its horizontal midline into a top section and a bottom section, each section having an open edge, wherein said top section and said bottom section are joined along a longitudinal edge such that said open edges of said sections open away from each other and close towards each other; at least one cooling component, wherein said sections house said at least one cooling component; at least one insert having at least one protrusion to restrict motion of a medication container placed within said device, wherein said at least one insert removably couples with an open edge of one of said sections to secure said at least one cooling component within said one section; and at least one closure mechanism. 2. The device of claim 1, further comprising a layer of insulating material adjacent to said interior surface of said outer shell. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein said at least one protrusion further comprises a plurality of paired and substantially parallel tabs. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein a second said insert has a proximal end and a distal end, an interior surface and an exterior surface, and having at least one protrusion to restrict motion of a medication container placed within said device. 5. The device of claim 4, wherein said at least one protrusion on said second insert further comprises a set of substantially parallel ridges, located at the proximal end of said second insert and each ridge extending completely transversely across the interior of said second insert, each ridge having a top edge and a notch cut substantially in the middle of said top edge; a set of pairs of substantially parallel tabs, located distal to said set of substantially parallel ridges, each pair of tabs extending towards each other transversely across said second insert. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein said outer shell further comprises distinguishing printing. 7. The device of claim 5, wherein said outer shell is of a distinguishing color.
