Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
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.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist; induces phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins (lipocortins), which suppress release of arachidonic acid and subsequent prostaglandin/leukotriene synthesis; also suppresses cytokine production and immune cell migration.
0.75 mg orally once daily, typically as part of a tapering regimen for anti-inflammatory or immunosuppressive effects.
Topical: Apply a thin layer to affected skin once or twice daily. Maximum use: 45 g/week.

Terminal elimination half-life: 36-54 hours in adults with normal renal function; prolonged to 72-168 hours in severe renal impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life of approximately 2-3 hours; clinical context: duration of action may extend beyond half-life due to tissue binding.
Renal: ~65-80% as unchanged drug; Fecal: ~10-15% as metabolites; Minor biliary excretion.
Renal (approximately 80% as metabolites, <5% unchanged), biliary/fecal (remainder).
