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 oral contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone; inhibits ovulation by suppressing gonadotropin release, increases viscosity of cervical mucus, and alters endometrial receptivity.
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 24 weeks. Each tablet contains norethindrone 0.8 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.02 mg. After 24 weeks, take one inactive (ferrous fumarate) tablet daily for 4 weeks. Total cycle: 28 tablets.

Norethindrone: 7-8 hours; Ethinyl estradiol: 13-16 hours. Steady-state achieved within 5 days.
Ethinyl estradiol has a terminal half-life of approximately 13-27 hours (mean 18.5 hours). Norethindrone has a terminal half-life of approximately 8-12 hours. The half-life supports once-daily dosing.
Norethindrone: ~40% renal, ~60% fecal; Ethinyl estradiol: ~40% renal, ~60% fecal as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates.
Ethinyl estradiol is excreted in urine (40%) and feces (60%) as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates. Norethindrone is excreted in urine (30-50%) and feces (20-30%) as metabolites.
