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.
Synthetic corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity; binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to suppress inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function.
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.
100 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 24 hours, then 50 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 48 hours, followed by 25 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 72 hours.

Plasma t1/2 ~2.5-3.5 hours. Duration of adrenal suppression may persist for 24-48 hours.
Terminal elimination half-life is 2.5–3.5 hours; clinically, this short half-life requires multiple daily dosing for sustained effects.
Primarily renal (80-90% as inactive metabolites and unchanged drug). Biliary excretion accounts for <5%.
Primarily renal (80% as metabolites, 20% unchanged); minor biliary/fecal (<5%).
