Is Visanne an effective contraceptive method? Because you have already answered me that it is but I see the opposite on the internet.

Question

Hello, I have been taking Visanne (generic brand) for a month now, at very specific times. No, I'm talking about the answer of your colleague: Samantha Hui - 21 days ago Yes, when Visanne is taken properly at the same time every day, it also acts as a contraceptive. I just find the information contradictory.

Hello Madam, if you are referring to this publication , it does not say that Visanne can be used as a contraceptive, but that it can decrease or prevent ovulation. Therefore, it cannot be used as a contraceptive, and women who take it should be sure to use an effective method such as a condom. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, Pharmacist Thank you for the feedback. Visanne may decrease or prevent or decrease ovulation but has no indication as a contraceptive and is not listed in any practice guidelines or consensus as such, and therefore should not be used as a method of contraception.
