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

ntravenously.

A. Synthetic drug rf
B. Semisynthetic drug rf
C. Biotechnology drug rf
D. Prototype drug rf
ANS: B r f
Rationale: Semisynthetic drugs (e.g., many antibiotics) are naturally occurring substances that
rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf
have been chemically modified. Synthetic drugs are more standardized in their chemical charac
rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf
teristics, more consistent in their effects, and less likely to produce allergic reactions. Biotechn
rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf
ology drugs involve manipulating DNA and RNA and recombining genes into hybrid molecul
rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf rf
es that can be inserted into living organisms. Prototype drugs are the first drug of a particular gr
