Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Combination oral contraceptive containing norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol. Norethindrone acetate is a progestin that suppresses gonadotropin release, inhibiting ovulation; ethinyl estradiol is an estrogen that provides feedback inhibition of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), preventing follicular development and ovulation. Additionally, it causes changes in cervical mucus (increased viscosity) and endometrium (reduced receptivity).
Combination of ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate suppresses gonadotropin release, inhibiting ovulation, and increases viscosity of cervical mucus to inhibit sperm penetration.
One tablet orally once daily at the same time each day for 28 consecutive days.
One tablet (0.035 mg ethinyl estradiol / 0.250 mg norgestimate) orally once daily for 21 days, followed by 7 days of placebo tablets. Repeat cycle.

Norethindrone: 5-14 hours (terminal); Ethinyl estradiol: 10-20 hours (terminal). Steady-state achieved within 5-7 days; contraceptive efficacy maintained with daily dosing.
Norelgestromin: 28 hours; Ethinyl estradiol: 17 hours. Steady-state achieved within 7 days.
Renal: ~50-60% as metabolites, <10% unchanged; Fecal: ~40-50% via bile; Ethinyl estradiol undergoes enterohepatic recirculation.
Renal: 50% (metabolites); Fecal: 35% (eliminated in bile); unchanged drug <1%.
