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, inhibits ovulation, alters cervical mucus and endometrial lining.
100 mg orally once daily with food.
One tablet orally once daily at the same time each day for 21 days, followed by 7 placebo tablets (if included in the pack) or a 7-day pill-free interval. Each tablet contains ethinyl estradiol 0.035 mg and norethindrone 1 mg.

Terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12-15 hours in healthy adults; prolonged in renal impairment (up to 30 hours in severe impairment).
Norethindrone: 5-12 hours (terminal elimination half-life, approximately 8 hours). Ethinyl estradiol: biphasic with terminal half-life of 10-20 hours (mean 15 hours). Clinical context: Steady state reached in 5-7 days.
Primarily renal excretion as unchanged drug (approximately 70%) with the remainder as inactive metabolites; less than 10% excreted in feces.
Renal (approximately 40% as parent drug and metabolites; 20-40% as metabolites; 15-20% as unchanged drug), fecal (30-50% via bile as metabolites), and less than 2% in breast milk.
