Since there are brackets in the key of the value you want to access, I'd recommend using bracket notation instead of dot notation. After that, you access the first item in the array by using [0].

console.log(req.body['vendor_medicine_id[]'][0]);

If you want to access all values in that array, you might want to use an iteration:

req.body['vendor_medicine_id[]'].forEach(function (item) {
    console.log(item)
});

For more information, see: Loop through an array in JavaScript

You can do this easily like this:

console.log(req.body["vendor_medicine_id[]"][0]);

Hope this helps.
