Puts down record after ingesting medicines? On the contrary (7)
I believe the answer is:
deposes
'puts down' is the definition.
'medicines? on the contrary' is the wordplay.
'medicines?' becomes 'doses' (dose is a kind of medicine).
'on' means one lot of letters goes inside another (as in clothing \'on\' a person).
'the contrary' becomes 'ep' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'doses' placed around 'ep' is 'DEPOSES'.
'record after ingesting' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
(Other definitions for deposes that I've seen before include "Removes from office" , "Gives testimony" .)
