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 c c c
B. Systemic effect on symptoms c c c

D. Parenteral effect on symptoms c c c
ANS: B c
Rationale: Drugs that produce systemic effects are taken into the body, circulated through
c c c c c c c c c c c c
the bloodstream to their sites of action in various body tissues, and eventually eliminated
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
from the body. Curative agents are given to cure a disease process. In this case, paroxetine
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
hydrochloride will control the symptoms but not cure the disorder. Drugs with local
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
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.

C. Biotechnology drug c
D. Prototype drug c
ANS: B c
Rationale: Semisynthetic drugs (e.g., many antibiotics) are naturally occurring substances
c c c c c c c c c
that have been chemically modified. Synthetic drugs are more standardized in their
c c c c c c c c c c c c
chemicalcharacteristics, more consistent in their effects, and less likely to produce allergic
c c c c c c c c c c c c c
reactions. Biotechnology drugs involve manipulating DNA and RNA and recombining
c c c c c c c c c c
genes into hybrid molecules that can be inserted into living organisms. Prototype drugs are
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c
the first drug of a particular group to be developed.
