Please try this

select table_name, constraint_name from all_constraints  where r_constraint_name in
 ( select constraint_name from all_constraints  where table_name = 'MEDIUMS')

it should give you the table_name constraint names that are not allowing you to drop your table.

You will have to disable these constraints before dropping your table mediums.
