Delivers medication no longer available (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drops off

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

'delivers' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'medication no longer available' is the wordplay.
'medication' becomes 'drops' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'no longer available' becomes 'off' (I've seen this before).
'drops'+'off'='DROPS OFF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for drops off that I've seen is " Delivers".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
