Got better recipe combined (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rallied

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

'recipe combined' is the wordplay.
'recipe' becomes 'r' (abbreviation in medical prescriptions).
'combined' becomes 'allied' (I've seen this before).
'r'+'allied'='RALLIED'

(Other definitions for rallied that I've seen before include "Assembled in a mass meeting" , "Recovered strength after illness, or entered driving competition" , "Got better" , "Made a recovery" , "Recovered in health" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
