I have seven week old chicks and ran out of feed, which we have been feeding them start & Grow non medicated food, well my store only has the medicated food is it ok to give them?

Well I would always try to use unmedicated feed, but if it comes to it, theres generally no true harm in feeding medicated feed.

It should be fine. Or you could move on to grower or all flock instead, which is what I do once I use up my initial batch of starter.

It is a medication, amprolium, for a specific parasite at a specific time in their development Amprolium is a coccidiostat. If you have wild birds that share the spaces with your chicks or have used that space in the recent past, you may have coccidia in the soil. It can kill baby chicks. Medicated feed helps the chicks survive the time while their immunity develops. It is eliminated from their systems quickly and has been used safely for decades.
