Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Combination of ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone; primarily suppresses gonadotropins (FSH, LH) via negative feedback, preventing ovulation. Drospirenone has anti-mineralocorticoid and anti-androgenic activity.
Combination oral contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone; inhibits ovulation by suppressing gonadotropin release, increases viscosity of cervical mucus, and alters endometrial receptivity.
One tablet orally once daily for 24 weeks, followed by placebo tablets for 4 weeks; each tablet contains 0.15 mg levonorgestrel and 0.03 mg ethinyl estradiol for 21 days, then 0.01 mg ethinyl estradiol for 3 days, then 2 tablets of 75 mg ferrous fumarate for 5 days.
One tablet orally once daily for 24 weeks. Each tablet contains norethindrone 0.8 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.02 mg. After 24 weeks, take one inactive (ferrous fumarate) tablet daily for 4 weeks. Total cycle: 28 tablets.

Drospirenone: 25-33 hours; Ethinyl estradiol: 13-24 hours; steady-state achieved after 10 days.
Ethinyl estradiol has a terminal half-life of approximately 13-27 hours (mean 18.5 hours). Norethindrone has a terminal half-life of approximately 8-12 hours. The half-life supports once-daily dosing.
Renal: 30-40% as drospirenone metabolites, 20-30% as ethinyl estradiol metabolites; fecal: 40-50% as drospirenone metabolites, 30-40% as ethinyl estradiol metabolites; biliary: minimal.
Ethinyl estradiol is excreted in urine (40%) and feces (60%) as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates. Norethindrone is excreted in urine (30-50%) and feces (20-30%) as metabolites.
