🔬 Pharmacology (PK/PD)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionTopical absorption is minimal; systemic absorption may occur with prolonged use on large areas or occluded skin.

DistributionDistributes into tissues; crosses placenta and enters breast milk.

Protein BindingApproximately 90-95% bound to plasma proteins, primarily corticosteroid-binding globulin and albumin

MetabolismMetabolized primarily in the liver via reduction and conjugation.

Half-LifePlasma half-life: 1-2 hours; biological half-life: 8-12 hours.

ExcretionExcreted in urine as inactive metabolites; small amount excreted in feces.

BioavailabilitySystemic bioavailability is low (<1%) with topical application, but increases with occlusive dressin

Onset of ActionRapid; within hours for anti-inflammatory effect.

Peak Plasma TimeNot applicable for topical use; systemic levels peak within 1-2 hours after absorption.

Duration of ActionAnti-inflammatory effect lasts 8-12 hours after application.

How It Works

Binds to glucocorticoid receptors, leading to inhibition of phospholipase A2, reduced prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, and suppression of inflammatory cytokines.

Mechanism Steps

1Binds to glucocorticoid receptor in cytoplasm.

2Receptor-ligand complex translocates to nucleus.

3Binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) on DNA.
