Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Unknown. It is a purified fatty acid derivative that may modulate inflammatory responses.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to inhibition of phospholipase A2, decreased prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppression of inflammatory cytokines.
2.5 mg subcutaneously once daily.
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 elimination half-life is 6-8 hours; in moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30-50 mL/min) extends to 12-15 hours.
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.
Primarily renal excretion (70-80% as unchanged drug), with 15-20% fecal elimination via biliary secretion.
Renal (primarily as metabolites, <5% unchanged); biliary/fecal (minor).
