I'd press any mixture where medicines are made up (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dispensary

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

'where medicines are made up' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'i'd press any mixture' is the wordplay.
'mixture' indicates anagramming the letters.
'id'+'press'+'any'='idpressany'
'idpressany' is an anagram of 'DISPENSARY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dispensary that I've seen before include "Drug dealer" , "Place where medicines are supplied" , "Stock of medicines" , "Place providing medicines" , "source of drugs?" .)
