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.
Adrenocorticosteroid; binds to glucocorticoid receptor, modulating gene expression to produce anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and metabolic effects.
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.
10-20 mg orally once daily

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2.5-3 hours in adults. The half-life may be prolonged in patients with hepatic impairment.
2-3 h. The terminal elimination half-life is short, requiring thrice-daily dosing for sustained effect. Context: In patients with hepatic impairment, half-life may be prolonged up to 4-5 h.
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 (>90%) with renal excretion of inactive metabolites (approximately 80% in urine, 20% in feces). Less than 5% of the parent drug is excreted unchanged in urine.
