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.
