Pharmacology: Quality and Safety
1. A woman diagnosed with obsessive–
compulsive disorder has been prescribed oral paroxetine hydrochloride. What i
s 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
ANS: B
Rationale: Drugs that produce systemic effects are taken into the body, circulated throu
gh the bloodstream to their sites of action in various body tissues, and eventually elimi
nated 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 wit
h local effects, such as sunscreen and local anesthetics, act mainly at the site of applic
ation. Paroxetine hydrochloride is not administered parenterally. Parenteral agents are a
dministered subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intravenously.

of medication?
A. Synthetic drug
B. Semisynthetic drug
C. Biotechnology drug
D. Prototype drug
ANS: B
Rationale: Semisynthetic drugs (e.g., many antibiotics) are naturally occurring substance
s that have been chemically modified. Synthetic drugs are more standardized in their che
mical 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.
