STATROL vs TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Statrol is a combination antibiotic ointment containing polymyxin B sulfate, neomycin sulfate, and gramicidin. Polymyxin B binds to lipopolysaccharides in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, disrupting membrane integrity. Neomycin inhibits protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. Gramicidin alters cell membrane permeability in gram-positive bacteria by forming ion channels.
Corticosteroid that binds to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to inhibition of phospholipase A2, decreased prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppression of inflammatory cytokines.
10 mg orally once daily
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 half-life 12-16 hours in adults; prolonged to 24-30 hours in severe renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
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.
Renal: 70% unchanged; biliary/fecal: 20% as metabolites, 10% unchanged.
Renal (primarily as metabolites, <5% unchanged); biliary/fecal (minor).
