Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, leading to anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects via inhibition of phospholipase A2, reduction of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, and modulation of gene transcription.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, altering gene expression to inhibit inflammatory mediators (e.g., prostaglandins, leukotrienes) and suppress immune cell activity.
0.75-9 mg/day orally in divided doses every 6-12 hours; for anti-inflammatory/immunosuppressive effects, initial dose 0.75-9 mg/day; for cerebral edema, 10 mg IV then 4 mg IM/IV every 6 hours.
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.

Terminal elimination half-life: 36-54 hours (adults); clinically, biological half-life (duration of HPA axis suppression) is longer (24-72 hours).
Terminal half-life: 2-3 hours (topical) due to rapid clearance; systemic half-life: 1-2 hours
Renal (approximately 65-80% as metabolites, <10% as unchanged drug); biliary/fecal (minor).
Renal: 90% as metabolites; biliary/fecal: minimal (<5%)
