Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist; suppresses inflammation and immune responses by inhibiting phospholipase A2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and modulating gene transcription.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to modulation of gene expression and suppression of inflammatory mediators (e.g., prostaglandins, leukotrienes) and immune cell activity.
Oral: Initial dose 50-100 mg twice daily; maintenance 25-50 mg twice daily. Maximum 200 mg/day.
20-60 mg intramuscularly or intra-articularly once daily as a single dose or divided every 6-12 hours; dose varies by indication and severity.

Terminal elimination half-life: 2.6-3.8 hours. Clinical context: Short half-life requires multiple daily dosing; no significant accumulation with regular dosing.
Terminal half-life: 2-4 hours (plasma); clinical effects persist longer (18-36 hours) due to prolonged receptor occupancy and transcriptional effects.
Renal: 20-30% as unchanged drug; biliary/fecal: 70-80% as metabolites and unchanged drug.
Renal: primarily as metabolites, <20% unchanged; small fecal/biliary contribution.
