Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to modulation of gene expression and suppression of inflammatory mediators (e.g., prostaglandins, leukotrienes) and immune cell activity.
Corticosteroid that binds to the glucocorticoid receptor, leading to inhibition of phospholipase A2, decreased release of arachidonic acid, and reduced synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This results in anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects.
20-60 mg intramuscularly or intra-articularly once daily as a single dose or divided every 6-12 hours; dose varies by indication and severity.
Apply a thin layer to affected area twice daily. Max 60 g/week.

Terminal half-life: 2-4 hours (plasma); clinical effects persist longer (18-36 hours) due to prolonged receptor occupancy and transcriptional effects.
Terminal elimination half-life: 1-2 hours (topical use); 3-4 hours (systemic absorption after topical application to large areas or occluded skin). Clinical context: short half-life allows once- or twice-daily dosing.
Renal: primarily as metabolites, <20% unchanged; small fecal/biliary contribution.
Renal: <1% as unchanged drug; biliary/fecal: minimal; primarily hepatic metabolism with metabolites excreted renally.
