Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid with glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid activity; binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to suppress inflammation and immune responses.
Dexamethasone is a glucocorticoid receptor agonist, binding to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and modulating gene expression through transactivation and transrepression. It inhibits phospholipase A2, reduces prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, suppresses cytokine production (IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, TNF-alpha), and decreases immune cell migration and activation.
25-300 mg per day orally, in divided doses every 6-12 hours, depending on condition severity.
0.5 mg orally once daily, with gradual taper to lowest effective dose

Clinical Note
moderate30 minutes (plasma half-life of cortisol); biological half-life 8-12 hours (due to intracellular receptor binding and transcriptional effects)
