took

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'consumed medication for instance' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'to get all right' is the wordplay.
'get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'all right' becomes 'ok' ('ok' can be a synonym of 'all right'**).
'to'+'ok'='TOOK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for took that I've seen before include "removed from chessboard" , "Purloined" , "Stole - accepted" , "Helped oneself to" , "Accepted; guided" .)
