What is Visanne?
Visanne is a prescription hormonal treatment that helps manage the symptoms of endometriosis. This condition happens when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it, causing pelvic pain.
Visanne contains dienogest, a synthetic hormone (progestin) that helps control hormone changes and lowers the effect of estrogen, the hormone that encourages endometrial tissue to grow.
By balancing these hormones, Visanne helps ease pain and slows down further tissue growth.
You can buy Visanne online or buy Visanne in Canada from licensed Canadian pharmacies with a valid prescription.

How It Works
Visanne helps manage endometriosis by keeping hormone levels balanced.
The active ingredient, dienogest, is a synthetic hormone that lowers the effect of estrogen. Estrogen is a natural hormone that can make endometrial tissue grow outside the uterus.
Visanne helps stop this extra tissue from growing and reduces swelling and pain in the pelvic area.
With regular use, it keeps hormones steady, which can reduce menstrual pain, lessen heavy bleeding, and improve daily comfort for people with endometriosis.
Dosage
The usual Visanne dosage for endometriosis is one tablet each day. Each Visanne tablet contains 2 mg of dienogest.
Swallow the tablet with water, with or without food, and take it at the same time every day. This helps keep hormone levels steady and supports the treatment of endometriosis.
Continue taking Visanne daily without breaks between packs unless a doctor advises otherwise.
You can buy Visanne online or check the Visanne price in Canada before starting your treatment.
