Imitation drug (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

placebo

(Other definitions for placebo that I've seen before include "Measure purely to calm or humour another" , "Fake drug" , "Medicine with no effect used in drug trials" , "Medicament often given as a pacifier" , "Calming measure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
