Morphology
The phrase combines 'ionic' (pertaining to ions) with 'medication' (a drug), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to a drug or treatment involving ions. Although somewhat technical, the meaning is compositionally predictable and follows standard adjective + noun semantics, making it transparent to B1 learners.
Etymology
Ionic medication comes from a simple picture: a small 'electric current' moves tiny charged particles, or 'ions', and the word ionic points to those ions while medication is the medicine moved into the body. So it means a treatment that uses an 'electric current' to push medicine into deeper parts of the body.
