Waste pipe nearly crushes medicine dispenser (6)
I believe the answer is:
epipen
'medicine dispenser' is the definition.
(an epipen treats someone with an allergic reaction)
'waste pipe nearly crushes' is the wordplay.
'crushes' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the answer is crushed or squeezed by the clue).
'EPIPEN' is hidden in the letters of 'waste pipe nearly'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
