Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Combination hormonal contraceptive. Norethindrone acetate suppresses gonadotropin release (FSH and LH) via progestogenic activity, inhibiting ovulation. Ethinyl estradiol provides negative feedback on hypothalamic-pituitary axis, further suppressing gonadotropins and stabilizing endometrium.
Combination of ethinyl estradiol, an estrogen, and desogestrel, a progestin, which inhibit gonadotropin release (FSH and LH) from the pituitary, suppressing ovulation and altering cervical mucus and endometrial lining to reduce likelihood of fertilization and implantation.
One tablet (0.10 mg ethinyl estradiol / 1.0 mg norethindrone acetate) orally once daily for 24 days, followed by 4 days of ferrous fumarate 75 mg tablets (placebo). Administer at the same time each day without interruption.
One tablet orally once daily for 21 days, followed by 7 days of placebo (iron-containing) tablets. Each active tablet contains 0.1 mg levonorgestrel and 20 mcg ethinyl estradiol.

Norethindrone: 7-8 hours; Ethinyl estradiol: 13-16 hours. Steady-state achieved within 5 days.
Ethinyl estradiol: ~12-14 hours; norethindrone: ~7-8 hours; both allow once-daily dosing with steady-state reached within 7-10 days.
Norethindrone: ~40% renal, ~60% fecal; Ethinyl estradiol: ~40% renal, ~60% fecal as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates.
Renal: ~50-60% as metabolites; fecal: ~40-50% via biliary elimination; less than 10% unchanged in urine.
