Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Combination oral contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone acetate. Inhibits ovulation by suppressing gonadotropin release (FSH, LH). Increases viscosity of cervical mucus, reducing sperm penetration. Alters endometrial lining to reduce implantation likelihood.
Combination oral contraceptive: ethinyl estradiol suppresses gonadotropin release via negative feedback on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis; norgestimate binds to progesterone receptors, inhibiting ovulation and altering cervical mucus and endometrial receptivity.
One tablet (1 mg norethindrone acetate, 20 mcg ethinyl estradiol) orally once daily at the same time each day for 21 days, followed by one iron tablet (75 mg ferrous fumarate) orally once daily for 7 days.
One tablet orally once daily for 21 days, followed by 7 days of placebo.

Norethindrone: 7-8 hours; ethinyl estradiol: 13-14 hours (with interindividual variability).
Terminal elimination half-life: 20-24 hours; allows once-daily dosing for contraceptive efficacy.
Renal: ~50-60% as metabolites; fecal: ~40-50% as metabolites; biliary excretion contributes to fecal elimination.
Renal: approximately 50% as metabolites; biliary/fecal: approximately 40% as metabolites; 10% unchanged in urine.
