LoOvral and Metabolism

Does anyone know how LoOvral is metabolised by the body? I am on meds for seizures and they play a fun part in finding the right OC. Looking at some research I have found that enzyme inducing AEDs (seizure meds that are metabolized by the liver) should be mixed with a higher estrogen content. I am just wondering if LoOvral is metabolized by the liver or the kidneys....does anyone know?

Thanks

Thank you for your information. I plan on talking to my drs, but it is always good to know what you are wanting to ask before you talk to them, so you don't just get their dr jargon. Thanks again for the info.
