Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Progestin-only oral contraceptive. Norethindrone suppresses gonadotropins (primarily LH and FSH), preventing follicular maturation and ovulation. It also increases viscosity of cervical mucus and alters endometrial morphology.
Combination of ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone; ethinyl estradiol suppresses gonadotropin release, inhibiting ovulation. Norethindrone induces secretory endometrium and increases cervical mucus viscosity.

Terminal elimination half-life: 36 hours (range 20-60 hours); allows once-daily dosing, steady-state achieved by 8 days.
Terminal elimination half-life is 7-9 hours in healthy adults, prolonged to 12-15 hours in elderly patients and those with moderate hepatic impairment.
Renal: ~40% as unchanged drug and metabolites; biliary/fecal: ~60% as metabolites.
Primarily renal excretion as unchanged drug (60-70%) and glucuronide conjugates (10-20%); fecal elimination accounts for less than 10%.
