Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor; also weakly inhibits serotonin reuptake. Enhances synaptic concentrations of norepinephrine and dopamine, particularly in prefrontal cortex.
Combination hormonal contraceptive: ethinyl estradiol suppresses LH and FSH, primarily inhibiting ovulation; drospirenone is a progestin with anti-mineralocorticoid and anti-androgenic activity, increasing cervical mucus viscosity and altering endometrial morphology.
100 mg orally once daily with food.
One tablet orally once daily for 24 days followed by 4 placebo tablets. Each tablet contains 75 mcg desogestrel and 0.02 mg ethinyl estradiol.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12-15 hours in healthy adults; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 30 hours in severe impairment).
Drospirenone: ~30 hours; Ethinyl estradiol: ~17 hours. Steady-state reached after ~10 days for drospirenone.
Primarily renal excretion as unchanged drug (approximately 70%) with the remainder as inactive metabolites; less than 10% excreted in feces.
Drospirenone: 40-50% renal as metabolites, <10% unchanged; ~50% fecal. Ethinyl estradiol: ~40% renal, 60% fecal.
