Brave woman taking two drugs together (7)
I believe the answer is:
heroine
'brave woman' is the definition.
(female hero)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heroine that I've seen before include "Woman of outstanding courage" , "Intrepid woman" , "Brave woman" , "The main good female character in a work of fiction" , "Brave female" .)
