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, altering gene expression to inhibit inflammatory mediators (e.g., prostaglandins, leukotrienes) and suppress immune cell activity.
0.1-0.2 mg/kg intravenously once.
Apply a thin film to the affected area once or twice daily for up to 2 weeks, using the lowest effective dose. Not for use under occlusive dressings or on large areas.

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: 2-3 hours (topical) due to rapid clearance; systemic half-life: 1-2 hours
Renal excretion of unchanged drug and metabolites accounts for approximately 70-80% of elimination, with biliary/fecal excretion contributing 20-30%.
Renal: 90% as metabolites; biliary/fecal: minimal (<5%)
