1. A woman diagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder has been prescribed oral
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
paroxetine hydrochloride. What is the expected effect for this prescription?
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
A. Curative effect on symptoms 4c 4c 4c
B. Systemic effect on symptoms 4c 4c 4c

D. Parenteral effect on symptoms 4c 4c 4c
ANS: B 4 c
Rationale: Drugs that produce systemic effects are taken into the body, circulated through
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
the bloodstream to their sites of action in various body tissues, and eventually eliminated
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
from the body. Curative agents are given to cure a disease process. In this case, paroxetine
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
hydrochloride will control the symptoms but not cure the disorder. Drugs with local effects,
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
such as sunscreen and local anesthetics, act mainly at the site of application. Paroxetine
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
hydrochloride is not administered parenterally. Parenteral agents are administered
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously.

medication?

A. Synthetic drug 4c
B. Semisynthetic drug 4c
C. Biotechnology drug 4c
D. Prototype drug 4c
ANS: B 4 c
Rationale: Semisynthetic drugs (e.g., many antibiotics) are naturally occurring substances
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
that have been chemically modified. Synthetic drugs are more standardized in their chemical
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
characteristics, more consistent in their effects, and less likely to produce allergic reactions.
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
Biotechnology drugs involve manipulating DNA and RNA and recombining genes into
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
hybrid molecules that can be inserted into living organisms. Prototype drugs are the first drug
4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c 4c
of a particular group to be developed.
