Terminal elimination half-life is 12-15 hours in healthy adults; prolonged to 20-30 hours in severe hepatic impairment and 15-20 hours in renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Norethindrone: 8 hours; ethinyl estradiol: 12-15 hours; steady state achieved within 5-10 days.
Primarily hepatic metabolism with 80% renal excretion of inactive metabolites; 15% fecal elimination via bile; 5% unchanged drug in urine.
Norethindrone: 40% renal, 60% fecal; ethinyl estradiol: 40% renal, 60% fecal.
