Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
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.

10-60 mg orally once daily or divided twice daily; maximum 60 mg/day.
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: 2-3 hours (after IV/IM/oral). Clinically, anti-inflammatory effects persist beyond plasma half-life due to glucocorticoid receptor-mediated gene transcription effects.
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 (80-90% as inactive glucuronide and sulfate conjugates; less than 10% as unchanged drug). Biliary/fecal excretion accounts for about 5%.
Renal (primarily as metabolites, <5% unchanged); biliary/fecal (minor).
