I have never in my life heard "medicament" before. Is there a particular reason that word was used here? Is it used often across the pond or something and I just never heard it somehow? Or is it somewhat seldom used and you just decided that was the word you wanted to use?
French?
Didn't even notice the word the first time around, and before I read your replying assumed it was a portmanteau of medication and predicament. French could work. Dunno why the loan word though.
