Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Agonist of glucocorticoid receptors, leading to anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects via inhibition of phospholipase A2, reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and suppression of immune cell activity.
Corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation by inhibiting phospholipase A2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and modulating cytokine production.
Initial dose: 5-60 mg orally or intravenously once daily or divided every 12-24 hours; range 5-60 mg/day. For acute conditions, 40-60 mg once daily.
1 to 4 mg (0.025 to 0.1 mL of 40 mg/mL suspension) intravitreal injection once.

Terminal elimination half-life is 2.1–3.5 hours in adults (mean 2.6 h). Clinical context: Short half-life supports twice-daily dosing for most conditions; prolonged in hepatic impairment (up to 8 h).
Approximately 3.3 hours for triamcinolone acetonide; with intravitreal administration, detectable levels persist for weeks to months.
Renal excretion of inactive metabolites (primarily prednisolone) accounts for >80% of elimination; less than 10% excreted unchanged. Biliary/fecal excretion is negligible (<5%).
Primarily hepatic metabolism; renal excretion of metabolites (<5% unchanged). Biliary/fecal elimination accounts for minimal clearance.
