Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Synthetic corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity; binds to glucocorticoid receptors, modulating gene expression to suppress inflammation, immune response, and adrenal function.
Corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation by inhibiting phospholipase A2, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and modulating cytokine production.
100 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 24 hours, then 50 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 48 hours, followed by 25 mg intravenously every 8 hours for 72 hours.
1 to 4 mg (0.025 to 0.1 mL of 40 mg/mL suspension) intravitreal injection once.

Terminal elimination half-life is 2.5–3.5 hours; clinically, this short half-life requires multiple daily dosing for sustained effects.
Approximately 3.3 hours for triamcinolone acetonide; with intravitreal administration, detectable levels persist for weeks to months.
Primarily renal (80% as metabolites, 20% unchanged); minor biliary/fecal (<5%).
Primarily hepatic metabolism; renal excretion of metabolites (<5% unchanged). Biliary/fecal elimination accounts for minimal clearance.
