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.
Synthetic corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity; binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression 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.
100 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 24 hours, then 50 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 48 hours, followed by 25 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 72 hours.

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 is 2.5–3.5 hours; clinically, this short half-life requires multiple daily dosing for sustained effects.
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% as metabolites, 20% unchanged); minor biliary/fecal (<5%).
