top secret

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

'injection for certain people only' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'doctor protects drug' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates an anagram.
'drug' becomes 'e' (e is another name for ecstasy).
'protects'+'e'='protectse'
'protectse' anagrammed gives 'TOP-SECRET'.

'making' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for top secret that I've seen before include "the knack of sleeping well?" , "Highest classified (information)" , "As Bond mission" , "Erect post (anag)" , "Very hush-hush" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
