Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
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.
Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, modulating gene transcription to suppress inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function.
Topical: Apply a thin layer to affected skin once or twice daily. Maximum use: 45 g/week.
20-40 mg intramuscularly every 3 weeks; for intra-articular use: 20-40 mg per large joint, 10-20 mg per medium joint, 4-10 mg per small joint.

Terminal elimination half-life of approximately 2-3 hours; clinical context: duration of action may extend beyond half-life due to tissue binding.
Plasma t1/2 ~2.5-3.5 hours. Duration of adrenal suppression may persist for 24-48 hours.
Renal (approximately 80% as metabolites, <5% unchanged), biliary/fecal (remainder).
Primarily renal (80-90% as inactive metabolites and unchanged drug). Biliary excretion accounts for <5%.
