Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene transcription to inhibit phospholipase A2, reduce prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppress inflammatory cell migration and cytokine production.
Corticosteroid binding to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects via inhibition of phospholipase A2, reduction of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and modulation of cytokine production.
Topical: Apply a thin film to affected skin areas twice daily. Maximum 60 g per week. Use for no longer than 2 consecutive weeks.
Initial: 5-60 mg orally once daily, adjusted based on response; typical maintenance: 5-15 mg orally once daily.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 2–4 hours, but following topical application, systemic half-life may be prolonged due to continuous absorption from the skin.
Terminal elimination half-life is 3.5 ± 1.2 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 6–8 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Primarily renal; <5% fecal. About 40% of a dose is excreted in urine as unchanged drug and glucuronide conjugates.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug accounts for approximately 60% of the dose; fecal elimination contributes about 30% due to biliary secretion; the remaining 10% is metabolized.
