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 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 (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 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: 13-14 hours (with interindividual variability).
Ethinyl estradiol: 17 ± 6 hours (terminal); Norethindrone: 10 ± 3 hours (terminal). Steady-state achieved after 7-14 days.
Renal: ~50-60% as metabolites; fecal: ~40-50% as metabolites; biliary excretion contributes to fecal elimination.
Renal: 40% as metabolites; Fecal: 50% as metabolites; Biliary: minor; unchanged ethinyl estradiol excreted in urine <5%, norethindrone <1%.
