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.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to inhibition of phospholipase A2, decreased prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppression of inflammatory cytokines.
Topical: Apply a thin layer to affected skin once or twice daily. Maximum use: 45 g/week.
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 elimination half-life of approximately 2-3 hours; clinical context: duration of action may extend beyond half-life due to tissue binding.
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 (approximately 80% as metabolites, <5% unchanged), biliary/fecal (remainder).
Renal (primarily as metabolites, <5% unchanged); biliary/fecal (minor).
