Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Prednisolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, modulating gene transcription to suppress inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function.
Corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties; suppresses multiple inflammatory cytokines and induces lipocortin synthesis.
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.
Intravenous: Initial dose 100-250 mg, then repeat every 10-30 minutes as needed. Intramuscular: 100-250 mg every 10-30 minutes. Intra-articular: 10-40 mg per joint every 1-2 weeks.

Plasma t1/2 ~2.5-3.5 hours. Duration of adrenal suppression may persist for 24-48 hours.
Terminal half-life ~2-3 hours; clinically, adrenal suppression may persist >24h.
Primarily renal (80-90% as inactive metabolites and unchanged drug). Biliary excretion accounts for <5%.
Renally eliminated: ~80% as metabolites, <10% unchanged. Biliary/fecal: minor.
