Mode of Action of Visanne 2 MG
How Does It Work?
In the body of a female, every month a new layer of tissue is formed within the uterus which is shredded during the menstrual cycle if the female does not conceive. However, in certain instances this layer of tissue forms outside the uterus and can cause severe abdominal pain and discomfort to the female. This condition is known as Endometriosis. Dienogest, the active component of Visanne Tablet helps in the treatment of endometriosis by decreasing the tissue formation outside the uterus, thereby, reducing the pain and discomfort associated with this disorder.
