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, leading to modulation of gene expression and suppression of inflammatory mediators (e.g., prostaglandins, leukotrienes) and immune cell activity.
0.1-0.2 mg/kg intravenously once.
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 is 2-4 hours. Clinical context: Short half-life requires frequent dosing for sustained effect; accumulation possible in renal impairment.
Terminal half-life: 2-4 hours (plasma); clinical effects persist longer (18-36 hours) due to prolonged receptor occupancy and transcriptional effects.
Renal excretion of unchanged drug and metabolites accounts for approximately 70-80% of elimination, with biliary/fecal excretion contributing 20-30%.
Renal: primarily as metabolites, <20% unchanged; small fecal/biliary contribution.
