Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Dexamethasone is a long-acting glucocorticoid receptor agonist that suppresses inflammation and immune responses by inhibiting phospholipase A2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and modulating gene expression.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to inhibition of phospholipase A2, decreased prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppression of inflammatory cytokines.
1.5 mg orally once daily
Intramuscular: 40-80 mg every 4 weeks. Intra-articular: 5-40 mg depending on joint size. Topical: Apply thin film to affected area 2-4 times daily.

Terminal half-life approximately 3-4 hours (dexamethasone), with clinical effects persisting 36-54 hours due to glucocorticoid receptor-mediated actions.
Terminal elimination half-life approximately 2-5 hours; but suppression of adrenal function (HPA axis) can persist for 7-30 days depending on dose and duration.
Renal (primarily as metabolites, ~60%), biliary/fecal (~30%), with <5% excreted unchanged.
Renal (primarily as metabolites, <5% unchanged); biliary/fecal (minor).
