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 and norethindrone acetate provides negative feedback on gonadotropin release, suppressing ovulation. Also causes cervical mucus thickening and endometrial thinning.
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 (norethindrone 1 mg and ethinyl estradiol 50 mcg plus ferrous fumarate 75 mg) orally once daily for 28 days, with 21 active tablets and 7 placebo tablets.
