Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties; suppresses multiple inflammatory cytokines and induces lipocortin 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.
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.
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 half-life ~2-3 hours; clinically, adrenal suppression may persist >24h.
Terminal half-life: 2-4 hours (plasma); clinical effects persist longer (18-36 hours) due to prolonged receptor occupancy and transcriptional effects.
Renally eliminated: ~80% as metabolites, <10% unchanged. Biliary/fecal: minor.
Renal: primarily as metabolites, <20% unchanged; small fecal/biliary contribution.
