, Chapter 1, the Foundation of Pharmacology: Quality and Safety
A woman diagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder has been prescribed oral paroxetine hydrochloride.
What is the expected effect for this prescription?
Curative effect on symptoms
Systemic effect on symptoms
Local effect on symptoms
Parenteral effect on symptoms
ANS: B
Rationale: 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.

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