Rationale: Drugs that produce systemic effects are taken into the body, circulated
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp
through the bloodstream to their sites of action in various body tissues, and
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp
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
pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp pp
the disorder. Drugs with local effects,such as sunscreen and local anesthetics, act
pp pp pp pp pp pp p pp pp pp pp pp pp
mainly at the site of application. Paroxetine hydrochloride is not administered

parenterally. Parenteral agents are administered subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or

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