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: ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel inhibit ovulation via suppression of gonadotropins (LH, FSH); increase viscosity of cervical mucus, impairing sperm penetration; alter endometrial structure, reducing implantation likelihood.
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 (norgestrel 0.3 mg/ethinyl estradiol 30 mcg) orally once daily at the same time each day for 28 days, with 21 active tablets followed by 7 inactive tablets.

Norethindrone: 7-8 hours; Ethinyl estradiol: 13-16 hours. Steady-state achieved within 5 days.
Norgestrel: ~45 hours (terminal). Ethinyl estradiol: ~13 hours (terminal). Steady-state achieved within 5-7 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. Ethinyl estradiol undergoes enterohepatic recirculation.
