1. A woman diagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder has been prescribed oral
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




paroxetine hydrochloride. What is the expected effect for this prescription?
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




A. Curative effect on symptoms vb vb vb




B. Systemic effect on symptoms vb vb vb




C. Local effect on symptoms vb vb vb




D. Parenteral effect on symptoms vb vb vb




ANS: B v b




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




bloodstream to their sites of action in various body tissues, and eventually eliminated from the
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




body. Curative agents are given to cure a disease process. In this case, paroxetine hydrochloride
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




will control the symptoms but not cure the disorder. Drugs with local effects,such as sunscreen
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




and local anesthetics, act mainly at the site of application. Paroxetine hydrochloride is not
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




administered parenterally. Parenteral agents are administered subcutaneously,
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




intramuscularly, or intravenously.

medication?

A. Synthetic drug vb




B. Semisynthetic drug vb




C. Biotechnology drug vb




D. Prototype drug vb




ANS: B v b




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




have been chemically modified. Synthetic drugs are morestandardized in their chemical
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




characteristics, more consistent in their effects, and less likely to produce allergic reactions.
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




Biotechnology drugs involve manipulating DNA and RNA and recombining genes into hybrid
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




molecules that can be inserted into living organisms. Prototype drugs are the first drugof a
vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb vb




particular group to be developed.
