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.
FLAC (Fluorouracil) is a pyrimidine analog that inhibits thymidylate synthase, blocking DNA synthesis. It is converted to active metabolites (FdUMP, FUTP) that disrupt RNA function and DNA replication.
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.
Adults: 40 mg orally twice daily.

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; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 12 hours)
Primarily hepatic metabolism; <10% excreted unchanged in urine. Fecal excretion accounts for approximately 30% of metabolites. Renal excretion of metabolites accounts for about 60%.
Renal: 70% unchanged; Fecal: 20%; Biliary: 10%
