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.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to reduce inflammation, suppress immune response, and inhibit fibroblast proliferation.
0.1-0.2 mg/kg intravenously once.
Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2-4 times daily, after meals and at bedtime. Do not rub in; allow to form a film.

Terminal elimination half-life is 2-4 hours. Clinical context: Short half-life requires frequent dosing for sustained effect; accumulation possible in renal impairment.
Terminal half-life approximately 2-5 hours following mucosal application.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug and metabolites accounts for approximately 70-80% of elimination, with biliary/fecal excretion contributing 20-30%.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; metabolites excreted renally (~75%) and in feces (~10%).
