Never use a hard bristle toothbrush for your teeth (unless you have a denture). A medium bristle brush will not be more harmful to your teeth if used properly. Try it for a week to see what happens. However don't apply that much pressure. If, after a week, your toothbrush begins to wear down, this means you are still brushing too hard. Practice a softer stroke until your toothbrush is able to last 2-3 months. Then you know you're doing it just right. Good luck! A soft or medium bristle toothbrush is safe for the teeth.
