They give account indications for a pharmacist (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amps

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

'they give account indications' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'a pharmacist' is the wordplay.
'pharmacist' becomes 'MPS' (Member of the Pharmaceutical Society).
'a'+'mps'='AMPS'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amps that I've seen before include "'Units of electric current, in short (4)'" , "Units of electrical power" , "Spam (anag)" , "Basic units of electric current" , "concert gear" .)
