A. Curative effect on symptoms l1 l1 l1
B. Systemic effect on symptoms l1 l1 l1
C. Local effect on symptoms l1 l1 l1
D. Parenteral effect on symptoms l1 l1 l1
ACCURATE ANSWER:-B l1
REASONING:->>>Pharmaceutical drug that produce systemic effects are taken into the l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1
l1 body, circulated through the bloodstream to their sites of action in various body tissues,
l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1
l1 and eventually eliminated from the body. Curative agents are given to cure a disease
l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1
l1 process. Inthis case, paroxetine hydrochloride will control the symptoms but not cure the
l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1
disorder.

Pharmaceutical drug with local effects, such as sunscreen and local anesthetics, act mainly l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1 l1
at the site of application. Paroxetine hydrochloride is not administered parenterally.
