medication

Usage Note

Médoc is informal/familiar French for médicament ('medication/drug'), widely used in everyday speech. It is not related to the Médoc wine region of Bordeaux despite identical spelling. Because it is a shortened colloquial form, it appears mainly in spoken French and informal writing rather than medical or official contexts.

Examples

"Il prend ses médocs tous les matins."

Natural Translation

He takes his meds every morning.
