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.
Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, modulating gene transcription to suppress inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function.
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.
20-40 mg intramuscularly every 3 weeks; for intra-articular use: 20-40 mg per large joint, 10-20 mg per medium joint, 4-10 mg per small joint.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2.5-3 hours in adults. The half-life may be prolonged in patients with hepatic impairment.
Plasma t1/2 ~2.5-3.5 hours. Duration of adrenal suppression may persist for 24-48 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%.
Primarily renal (80-90% as inactive metabolites and unchanged drug). Biliary excretion accounts for <5%.
