1. A woman diagnosed with obsessive–

compulsive disorder has been prescribed oralparoxetine hydrochloride. What is th

e expected effect for this prescription?

A. Curative effect on symptoms xc xc xc



B. Systemic effect on symptoms xc xc xc



C. Local effect on symptoms xc xc xc



D. Parenteral effect on symptoms xc xc xc




ANS: B x c



Rationale: Drugs that produce systemic effects are taken into the body, circulated through t
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



he bloodstream to their sites of action in various body tissues, and eventually eliminated fro
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



m the body. Curative agents are given to cure a disease process. In this case, paroxetine hyd
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



rochloride will control the symptoms but not cure the disorder. Drugs with local effects,such
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



as sunscreen and local anesthetics, act mainly at the site of application. Paroxetine hydroch
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



loride is not administered parenterally. Parenteral agents are administered subcutaneously, i
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



ntramuscularly, or intravenously. xc xc

ANS: B x c



Rationale: Semisynthetic drugs (e.g., many antibiotics) are naturally occurring substances th

aracteristics, more consistent in their effects, and less likely to produce allergic reactions. Bi

otechnology drugs involve manipulating DNA and RNA and recombining genes into hybrid

molecules that can be inserted into living organisms. Prototype drugs are the first drug of a p
