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.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, altering gene expression to inhibit inflammatory mediators (e.g., prostaglandins, leukotrienes) and suppress immune cell activity.
1-2 mL (6-12 mg/mL betamethasone acetate and betamethasone sodium phosphate) intramuscularly or intralesionally, repeat every 1-4 weeks as needed.
Apply a thin film to the affected area once or twice daily for up to 2 weeks, using the lowest effective dose. Not for use under occlusive dressings or on large areas.

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 half-life: 2-3 hours (topical) due to rapid clearance; systemic half-life: 1-2 hours
Renal: ~65% as metabolites and unchanged drug; biliary/fecal: ~20%; remainder via other pathways.
Renal: 90% as metabolites; biliary/fecal: minimal (<5%)
