Solved clues about a packet, initially, or a pill (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

capsule

'a pill' is the definition.
(I know that capsule is a type of pill)

'solved clues about a packet initially' is the wordplay.
'solved' indicates anagramming the letters (the anagram must be solved).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The first letter of 'packet' is 'p'.
'clues' is an anagram of 'csule'.
'a'+'p'='ap'
'csule' enclosing 'ap' is 'CAPSULE'.

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for capsule that I've seen before include "Gelatinous container with medicine inside" , "Type of pill" , "Tablet" , "Gelatin case (for medication)" , "Small cylindrical case" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
