1. A woman diagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder has been
prescribed oralparoxetine 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
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.
