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 estrogen-progestin contraceptive; suppresses gonadotropin secretion, inhibits ovulation, alters cervical mucus and endometrium.
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.
1 tablet orally once daily for 28 days; each tablet contains levonorgestrel 0.050 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.030 mg (6 days), levonorgestrel 0.075 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.040 mg (5 days), levonorgestrel 0.125 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.030 mg (10 days), followed by 7 inert tablets. The first dose is taken on the first Sunday after onset of menstruation or on day 1 of the menstrual cycle.

Norethindrone: 7-8 hours; Ethinyl estradiol: 13-16 hours. Steady-state achieved within 5 days.
Levonorgestrel: terminal half-life 11-45 hours (mean 24-30 h); Ethinyl estradiol: terminal half-life 10-27 hours (mean 17 h). Steady-state reached after 5-7 days.
Norethindrone: ~40% renal, ~60% fecal; Ethinyl estradiol: ~40% renal, ~60% fecal as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates.
Renal (about 50-60% as metabolites, <10% unchanged), fecal (about 30-40% via biliary elimination). Ethinyl estradiol undergoes enterohepatic recirculation.
