Desogestrel active metabolite etonogestrel: 21-24 hours; ethinyl estradiol: 12-14 hours
Terminal elimination half-life is 12-18 hours in healthy adults; prolonged to 24-36 hours in renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min), requiring dose adjustment.
Urine (50-60% as metabolites, <10% unchanged), feces (30-40% as metabolites)
Primarily renal (70% unchanged), with 20% biliary/fecal and 10% metabolic degradation.
