medication is administered for her obsessive-
compulsive disorder. This medication will
produce which of the following effects?

Feedback:
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.
A patient has been prescribed an antibiotic.
This medication is a naturally occurring
2. substance that has been chemically modified.
What is another name for this type of
medication?
A) Synthetic drug
B) Semisynthetic drug
C) Biotechnology drug
D) Prototype drug
