Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive actions. Suppresses cytokine production, inhibits phospholipase A2, and reduces prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis.
Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, modulating gene transcription to suppress inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function.
0.1-0.2 mg/kg intravenously once.
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 is 2-4 hours. Clinical context: Short half-life requires frequent dosing for sustained effect; accumulation possible in renal impairment.
Plasma t1/2 ~2.5-3.5 hours. Duration of adrenal suppression may persist for 24-48 hours.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug and metabolites accounts for approximately 70-80% of elimination, with biliary/fecal excretion contributing 20-30%.
Primarily renal (80-90% as inactive metabolites and unchanged drug). Biliary excretion accounts for <5%.
