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.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to reduce inflammation, suppress immune response, and inhibit fibroblast proliferation.
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 the affected area 2-4 times daily, after meals and at bedtime. Do not rub in; allow to form a film.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2.5-3 hours in adults. The half-life may be prolonged in patients with hepatic impairment.
Terminal half-life approximately 2-5 hours following mucosal application.
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 excreted renally (~75%) and in feces (~10%).
