HYDELTRA-TBA vs TRIACET
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.
Triacetin is a triester of glycerol and acetic acid. Its exact mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it exhibits antifungal activity by disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity and inhibiting fungal growth.
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.
0.5-1 mg orally three times daily; maximum dose 4 mg/day.

Plasma t1/2 ~2.5-3.5 hours. Duration of adrenal suppression may persist for 24-48 hours.
Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 3.5–4 hours in adults with normal renal function; may be prolonged (up to 6–8 hours) in patients with hepatic impairment.
Primarily renal (80-90% as inactive metabolites and unchanged drug). Biliary excretion accounts for <5%.
Renal, unchanged drug: <1% of dose; metabolites: approximately 20% in urine, remainder in feces via biliary elimination.
