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 inhibition of phospholipase A2, decreased prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppression of inflammatory cytokines.
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.
Intramuscular: 40-80 mg every 4 weeks. Intra-articular: 5-40 mg depending on joint size. Topical: Apply thin film to affected area 2-4 times daily.

Terminal half-life ~2-3 hours; clinically, adrenal suppression may persist >24h.
Terminal elimination half-life approximately 2-5 hours; but suppression of adrenal function (HPA axis) can persist for 7-30 days depending on dose and duration.
Renally eliminated: ~80% as metabolites, <10% unchanged. Biliary/fecal: minor.
Renal (primarily as metabolites, <5% unchanged); biliary/fecal (minor).
