Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Glucocorticoid receptor agonist; modulates gene expression to inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines, phospholipase A2, and NF-κB; suppresses immune response and inflammation.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, altering gene expression to inhibit inflammatory mediators (e.g., prostaglandins, leukotrienes) and suppress immune cell activity.
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.
Apply a thin film to the affected area once or twice daily for up to 2 weeks, using the lowest effective dose. Not for use under occlusive dressings or on large areas.

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.
Terminal half-life: 2-3 hours (topical) due to rapid clearance; systemic half-life: 1-2 hours
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.
Renal: 90% as metabolites; biliary/fecal: minimal (<5%)
