I believe the first is definitly correct.
The latter one, I've never seen this word before.

Try & search for the word 'Medicene' in any of the search engines. It is being used quite often. Let me know what you think.

Hello, Benita. I think that people who write "medicene" have made a mistake! It is definitely "medicine" in English.

I actually looked up the word at Google Search Engine and found out some interest site.
I think people use the word "Medicene" widely.
But if you want to use it in medical field then I would suggest you to use the word "Medicine"
Due to several usages of "Medicene"... It would be better to use the right word
