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.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist; modulates gene expression to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines, phospholipase A2, and NF-κB; suppresses immune response and inflammation.
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.
5-60 mg orally once daily or divided every 12-24 hours; dose depends on condition and severity. For acute exacerbations, 200-400 mg intramuscularly once.

Terminal half-life approximately 2-5 hours following mucosal application.
Terminal elimination half-life: 2-4 hours (plasma); biological (tissue) half-life: 18-36 hours due to prolonged glucocorticoid receptor-mediated effects. Half-life prolonged in hepatic disease.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; metabolites excreted renally (~75%) and in feces (~10%).
Renal (fraction excreted unchanged: <1%); primarily hepatic metabolism to inactive glucuronide and sulfate conjugates eliminated renally and fecally. After oral administration, 12-15% of dose recovered in bile/feces as metabolites.
