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.
1 to 4 mg (0.025 to 0.1 mL of 40 mg/mL suspension) intravitreal injection once.

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.
Approximately 3.3 hours for triamcinolone acetonide; with intravitreal administration, detectable levels persist for weeks to months.
Primarily renal (80-90% as inactive glucuronide and sulfate conjugates; less than 10% as unchanged drug). Biliary/fecal excretion accounts for about 5%.
Primarily hepatic metabolism; renal excretion of metabolites (<5% unchanged). Biliary/fecal elimination accounts for minimal clearance.
