Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
The combination product contains a corticosteroid (dexamethasone) which suppresses inflammation by inhibiting phospholipase A2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and a topical antibiotic (usually neomycin or polymyxin B) which inhibits bacterial protein synthesis or disrupts bacterial cell membranes.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene transcription to inhibit phospholipase A2, reduce prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppress inflammatory cell migration and cytokine production.
2 puffs (100 mcg each) intranasally twice daily
Topical: Apply a thin film to affected skin areas twice daily. Maximum 60 g per week. Use for no longer than 2 consecutive weeks.

Terminal elimination half-life is 12-15 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 24-30 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2–4 hours, but following topical application, systemic half-life may be prolonged due to continuous absorption from the skin.
Renal elimination of unchanged drug accounts for 30-40% of the dose; fecal/biliary elimination is 50-60% as metabolites. Less than 10% is excreted unchanged in feces.
Primarily renal; <5% fecal. About 40% of a dose is excreted in urine as unchanged drug and glucuronide conjugates.
