Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to reduce inflammation, suppress immune response, and inhibit fibroblast proliferation.
Prednisolone is a corticosteroid that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, leading to modulation of gene expression and subsequent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. It inhibits phospholipase A2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppresses cytokine production.
Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2-4 times daily, after meals and at bedtime. Do not rub in; allow to form a film.
10-60 mg orally once daily or divided twice daily; maximum 60 mg/day.

Terminal half-life approximately 2-5 hours following mucosal application.
Terminal elimination half-life: 2-3 hours (after IV/IM/oral). Clinically, anti-inflammatory effects persist beyond plasma half-life due to glucocorticoid receptor-mediated gene transcription effects.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; metabolites excreted renally (~75%) and in feces (~10%).
Primarily renal (80-90% as inactive glucuronide and sulfate conjugates; less than 10% as unchanged drug). Biliary/fecal excretion accounts for about 5%.
