Some medicine appears to act on wise men (7)
I believe the answer is:
dosages
'some medicine appears' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'act on wise men' is the wordplay.
'act on' becomes 'do'.
'wise men' becomes 'sages' (I've seen this before).
'do'+'sages'='DOSAGES'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dosages that I've seen is " measures".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
