Bonjour Caroline !
"Le docteur les leur a donnéS" is the correct sentence, as "donnés" agrees with the direct object "les médicaments" (masculine plural), following this agreement rule:
Special cases when the past participle agrees (in number & gender) when used with 'avoir' in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !
