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 inhibition of phospholipase A2, decreased prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppression of inflammatory cytokines.
Oral: Initial dose 50-100 mg twice daily; maintenance 25-50 mg twice daily. Maximum 200 mg/day.
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: 2.6-3.8 hours. Clinical context: Short half-life requires multiple daily dosing; no significant accumulation with regular dosing.
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: 20-30% as unchanged drug; biliary/fecal: 70-80% as metabolites and unchanged drug.
Renal (primarily as metabolites, <5% unchanged); biliary/fecal (minor).
