Mechanism of Action

ETHINYL ESTRADIOL
Estrogens diffuse into their target cells and interact with a protein receptor. Target cells include the female reproductive tract, the mammary gland, the hypothalamus, and the pituitary. Estrogens increase the hepatic synthesis of sex hormone binding globulin (shbg), thyroid-binding globulin (tbg), and other serum proteins and suppress follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) from the anterior pituitary. This cascade is initiated by initially binding to the estrogen receptors. The combination of an estrogen with a progestin suppresses the hypothalamic-pituitary system, decreasing the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh)
NORGESTIMATE
Norgestimate binds to androgen and progestogen receptors. Target cells include the female reproductive tract, the mammary gland, the hypothalamus, and the pituitary. Once bound to the receptor, progestins like norgestimate will slow the frequency of release of gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) from the hypothalamus and blunt the pre-ovulatory lh (luteinizing hormone) surge
