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 estrogen-progestin contraceptive; suppresses gonadotropin release, inhibiting ovulation, and increases cervical mucus viscosity, impeding sperm penetration.
100 mg orally once daily with food.
One tablet (35 mcg ethinyl estradiol and 0.4 mg norethindrone) orally once daily.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12-15 hours in healthy adults; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 30 hours in severe impairment).
Ethinyl estradiol: 5-18 hours (mean ~12 hours, biphasic); norethindrone: 5-14 hours (mean ~8 hours). Terminal half-life relevant for once-daily dosing.
Primarily renal excretion as unchanged drug (approximately 70%) with the remainder as inactive metabolites; less than 10% excreted in feces.
Renal 60% (metabolites, glucuronide conjugates), fecal 10%, biliary 5%, remainder via other pathways.
