Some granular areas are unfinished in cTakes and in these cases, attributes
mentioned are just placeholders for functionality that needs to be filled
in.   I can't speak specifically to Medication Freq/Dose/Route, but much
work is left to be done and contributed throughout the system.  Bodysite is
another one of these.  Or conditionality and confidence.  In some cases you
will never find them populated, or in others you'll find that values can
only be detected in a small number of contexts.

Unless an army of highly qualified developers and informaticists with free
time materializes to take it much further, cTakes will always be a work in
progress.  But many of us have already found it to be highly effective in
its current form, and some have made private customizations to suit our own
needs.
