1. A woman diagnosed with obsessive–
compulsive disorder has been prescribed
oralparoxetine hydrochloride. What is the
expected effect for this prescription?
A. Curative effect on symptoms
B. Systemic effect on symptoms
C. Local effect on symptoms
D. Parenteral effect on symptoms
ANS: B
Rationale: Drugs that produce systemic effects are
taken into the body, circulated through the
bloodstream to their sites of action in various body
tissues, and eventually eliminated from the body.
Curative agents are given to cure a disease process. In
this case, paroxetine hydrochloride will control the
symptoms but not cure the disorder.
Drugs with local effects,such as sunscreen and local
anesthetics, act mainly at the site of application.
Paroxetine hydrochloride is not administered
parenterally. Parenteral agents are administered
subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously.
