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; induces phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins (lipocortins), which suppress release of arachidonic acid and subsequent prostaglandin/leukotriene synthesis; also suppresses cytokine production and immune cell migration.
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.
Topical: Apply a thin layer to affected skin once or twice daily. Maximum use: 45 g/week.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2.5-3 hours in adults. The half-life may be prolonged in patients with hepatic impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life of approximately 2-3 hours; clinical context: duration of action may extend beyond half-life due to tissue binding.
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 (approximately 80% as metabolites, <5% unchanged), biliary/fecal (remainder).
