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 of ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel; estrogen and progestin inhibit gonadotropin release, suppressing ovulation and altering cervical mucus and endometrial receptivity.
100 mg orally once daily with food.
One tablet daily for 21 days, followed by 7 placebo tablets. Each active tablet contains 0.015 mg ethinyl estradiol and 2 mg chlormadinone acetate. Route: oral.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12-15 hours in healthy adults; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 30 hours in severe impairment).
Desogestrel active metabolite etonogestrel: 21-24 hours; ethinyl estradiol: 12-14 hours
Primarily renal excretion as unchanged drug (approximately 70%) with the remainder as inactive metabolites; less than 10% excreted in feces.
Urine (50-60% as metabolites, <10% unchanged), feces (30-40% as metabolites)
