Chop drugs up with love to produce lozenges (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cough drops

'lozenges' is the definition.
(cough drop is a kind of lozenge)

'chop drugs up with love' is the wordplay.
'up with' indicates anagramming the letters (letters get chucked up).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'chop'+'drugs'='chopdrugs'
'chopdrugs' anagrammed with 'o' makes 'COUGH DROPS'.

'to produce' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
