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.
Synthetic corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity; binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to suppress inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function.
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.
100 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 24 hours, then 50 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 48 hours, followed by 25 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 72 hours.

Terminal half-life approximately 2-5 hours following mucosal application.
Terminal elimination half-life is 2.5–3.5 hours; clinically, this short half-life requires multiple daily dosing for sustained effects.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; metabolites excreted renally (~75%) and in feces (~10%).
Primarily renal (80% as metabolites, 20% unchanged); minor biliary/fecal (<5%).
