🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionEthinyl estradiol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Drospirenone is also well absorbed. The bioavailability of ethinyl estradiol is approximately 40 to 50 percent due to first-pass metabolism, while drospirenone has a bioavailability of about 76 to 85 percent. Food does not significantly affect the absorption of either component.

DistributionEthinyl estradiol is widely distributed throughout the body and binds extensively to plasma proteins, primarily albumin. Drospirenone is also widely distributed and binds to albumin but not to sex hormone-binding globulin or corticosteroid-binding globulin. Both components cross the placenta and are excreted in breast milk in small amounts.

Protein BindingEthinyl estradiol is approximately 98 percent bound to plasma proteins, mainly albumin. Drospirenone is approximately 97 percent bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin, and does not bind to sex hormone-binding globulin or corticosteroid-binding globulin.

MetabolismEthinyl estradiol undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver and intestinal mucosa, primarily through hydroxylation and conjugation. Drospirenone is metabolized in the liver, mainly by cytochrome P450 3A4, to inactive metabolites. The metabolites are excreted in urine and feces.

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of ethinyl estradiol is approximately 15 to 25 hours. The elimination half-life of drospirenone is approximately 30 hours. Steady-state concentrations are reached after about 8 days of daily administration.

ExcretionEthinyl estradiol metabolites are excreted in urine and feces, with about 60 percent in urine and 40 percent in feces. Drospirenone metabolites are excreted in urine and feces in roughly equal proportions. Small amounts of both components are excreted in breast milk.

BioavailabilityThe bioavailability of ethinyl estradiol is approximately 40 to 50 percent due to first-pass metabolism. The bioavailability of drospirenone is approximately 76 to 85 percent. Taking this medicine with food does not significantly alter the bioavailability of either component.

Onset of ActionThe contraceptive effect of this medicine begins within the first cycle of use if started as directed. However, if starting on the first day of menstruation, protection is immediate. If started at another time, backup contraception is needed for the first seven days. The effects on acne and PMDD may take several weeks to become noticeable.

Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations of ethinyl estradiol are reached approximately 1 to 2 hours after oral administration. Peak plasma concentrations of drospirenone are reached approximately 1 to 2 hours after oral administration.

Duration of ActionThe contraceptive effect of this medicine lasts for approximately 24 hours after each dose, which is why daily dosing is essential. The effects on acne and PMDD may persist as long as the medicine is taken. After stopping, the hormonal effects wear off within a few days, and fertility may return quickly.

How It Works

This medicine prevents pregnancy through multiple complementary actions. Ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone together suppress the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus, which reduces follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone secretion from the pituitary gland. This suppression prevents the surge of luteinizing hormone needed for ovulation. Drospirenone also thickens cervical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach the egg, and changes the endometrial lining so that a fertilized egg is less likely to implant. Additionally, drospirenone has anti-mineralocorticoid activity, which can reduce fluid retention and bloating. The combined effect provides reliable contraception when taken consistently.

Mechanism Steps

1

Hypothalamic-pituitary suppression: Ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone reduce the pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus, which in turn lowers follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone production.

2

Ovulation inhibition: The lack of a luteinizing hormone surge prevents the ovarian follicle from rupturing and releasing an egg, which is the primary contraceptive mechanism.

3

Cervical mucus thickening: Progestin activity from drospirenone makes cervical mucus thicker and less permeable, creating a barrier that impedes sperm movement.

4

Endometrial changes: The combination alters the uterine lining, making it thinner and less receptive to implantation of a fertilized egg.

5

Anti-mineralocorticoid and anti-androgenic effects: Drospirenone blocks mineralocorticoid receptors, reducing fluid retention, and has weak anti-androgenic activity that can improve acne and hirsutism.
