Present time for medication (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tablet

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

'medication' is the definition.
(tablet is a kind of medication)

'present time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ablet' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tablet that I've seen before include "Small slab or flat pill" , "Pill; computer" , "Handheld personal computer" , "Flat slab (of stone, etc)" , "Medicine - flat slab - computer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
