Progestogen drug Visanne (dienogest 2mg) has been listed on the PBS for endometriosis, cutting the monthly cost from around $70 to $31.60 for non-concessional patients.
As the first new PBS listing for endometriosis since nafarelin (Synarel) in 1994, the move was “life-changing” for patients, said Melbourne GP Associate Professor Magdalena Simonis.
