'oral medication required?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'nasty lunch oozes egg' is the wordplay.
'nasty' indicates an anagram (a nasty or wrong spelling).
'lunch'+'oozes'+'egg'='lunchoozesegg'
'lunchoozesegg' anagrammed gives 'COUGH LOZENGES'.
