Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist that modulates gene expression, leading to anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and vasoconstrictive effects.
Corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation by inhibiting phospholipase A2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and modulating cytokine production.
Topical: Apply a thin layer to affected area 2-4 times daily.
1 to 4 mg (0.025 to 0.1 mL of 40 mg/mL suspension) intravitreal injection once.

Terminal elimination half-life: 1-2 hours (plasma cortisol); biological half-life (duration of action) 8-12 hours due to intracellular receptor effects.
Approximately 3.3 hours for triamcinolone acetonide; with intravitreal administration, detectable levels persist for weeks to months.
Renal: primarily as 17-hydroxycorticosteroids and 17-ketosteroids; <5% unchanged. Biliary/fecal: minimal. Metabolites conjugated with glucuronide or sulfate.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; renal excretion of metabolites (<5% unchanged). Biliary/fecal elimination accounts for minimal clearance.
