Soldier changed to camel medicine (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paracetamol

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

'medicine' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'soldier changed to camel' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'para' (para is a kind of soldier**).
'changed' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'camel'='tocamel'
'tocamel' is an anagram of 'cetamol'.
'para'+'cetamol'='PARACETAMOL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paracetamol that I've seen before include "Pain/fever reliever" , "Common remedy" , "Number" , "Synthetic painkiller" , "Common analgesic" .)
