Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist; modulates gene expression to inhibit inflammatory mediators, vasoconstriction, and immunosuppression.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to reduce inflammation, suppress immune response, and inhibit fibroblast proliferation.
Apply a thin layer to affected skin areas once or twice daily. Therapy should be discontinued when control is achieved; if no improvement is seen within 2 weeks, reassessment of diagnosis may be necessary.
Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2-4 times daily, after meals and at bedtime. Do not rub in; allow to form a film.

2-4 hours (terminal elimination half-life); short half-life supports twice-daily dosing for maintenance of clinical effect.
Terminal half-life approximately 2-5 hours following mucosal application.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; metabolites are excreted renally and fecally. Unchanged drug is negligible in urine. Route: renal (~60% as metabolites), fecal (~40% as metabolites).
Primarily hepatic metabolism; metabolites excreted renally (~75%) and in feces (~10%).
