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