Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Synthetic glucocorticoid receptor agonist; modulates transcription via glucocorticoid response elements, suppressing inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α) and immune cell activity.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist; modulates gene expression to inhibit inflammatory mediators, vasoconstriction, and immunosuppression.
Initial dose: 600 mg (6 tablets of 100 mg or 3 tablets of 200 mg) orally once daily for 4 weeks, then 400 mg orally once daily for weeks 5-8; total treatment duration 8 weeks.
Apply a thin layer to affected skin areas once or twice daily. Therapy should be discontinued when control is achieved; if no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of diagnosis may be necessary.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2.5-3 hours in adults. The half-life may be prolonged in patients with hepatic impairment.
2-4 hours (terminal elimination half-life); short half-life supports twice-daily dosing for maintenance of clinical effect.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; <10% excreted unchanged in urine. Fecal excretion accounts for approximately 30% of metabolites. Renal excretion of metabolites accounts for about 60%.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; metabolites are excreted renally and fecally. Unchanged drug is negligible in urine. Route: renal (~60% as metabolites), fecal (~40% as metabolites).
