Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Combination oral contraceptive: ethinyl estradiol suppresses FSH and LH, preventing ovulation; norethindrone induces endometrial changes and increases cervical mucus viscosity, impeding sperm penetration.
Combination hormonal contraceptive: ethinyl estradiol suppresses gonadotropin release, inhibiting ovulation; norethindrone induces endometrial changes, increasing cervical mucus viscosity.
