Customer picked up medicine and got back on with things (7)

I believe the answer is:

resumed

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

'got back on with things' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'customer picked up medicine' is the wordplay.
'customer' becomes 'user' (I've seen this in another clue).
'picked up' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'medicine' becomes 'med' (as in the informal term 'meds').
'user' reversed gives 'resu'.
'resu'+'med'='RESUMED'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resumed that I've seen before include "Started again where one had left off" , "Started again after a break" , "got to work on again" , "came into play again" , "Recommenced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
