Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation by inhibiting phospholipase A2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and decreasing immune cell activity.
Dexamethasone is a potent glucocorticoid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α) and reduce inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function.
1-2 mL (6-12 mg/mL betamethasone acetate and betamethasone sodium phosphate) intramuscularly or intralesionally, repeat every 1-4 weeks as needed.
0.75 mg orally once daily, typically as part of a tapering regimen for anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive effects.

Plasma terminal half-life: betamethasone phosphate ~3-5 hours; betamethasone acetate ~6-8 hours. Clinical duration extended due to ester hydrolysis and depot effect (up to 7-14 days for IM injection).
Terminal elimination half-life: 36-54 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 72-168 hours in severe renal impairment.
Renal: ~65% as metabolites and unchanged drug; biliary/fecal: ~20%; remainder via other pathways.
Renal: ~65-80% as unchanged drug; Fecal: ~10-15% as metabolites; Minor biliary excretion.
