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. Suppresses gonadotropin (FSH and LH) release via negative feedback, inhibiting ovulation. Also increases viscosity of cervical mucus and alters endometrial lining to reduce 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 orally once daily for 21 days, followed by one placebo tablet orally once daily for 7 days. Each active tablet contains 0.035 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.5 mg norethindrone (7 days), 0.035 mg ethinyl estradiol and 1.0 mg norethindrone (9 days), and 0.035 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.5 mg norethindrone (5 days).

Norethindrone: 7-8 hours; Ethinyl estradiol: 13-16 hours. Steady-state achieved within 5 days.
Ethinyl estradiol: 17 ± 6 hours (terminal); Norethindrone: 10 ± 3 hours (terminal). Steady-state achieved after 7-14 days.
Norethindrone: ~40% renal, ~60% fecal; Ethinyl estradiol: ~40% renal, ~60% fecal as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates.
Renal: 40% as metabolites; Fecal: 50% as metabolites; Biliary: minor; unchanged ethinyl estradiol excreted in urine <5%, norethindrone <1%.
