Stationed, perhaps, to correct against disease (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antidotes

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

'correct against disease' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'stationed perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'stationed' is an anagram of 'ANTIDOTES'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for antidotes that I've seen before include "Remedies" , "Counteractions to poisons" , "Cures for poisons" .)
