Victoza and Saxenda are registered trademarks of Novo Nordisk.

The decentralised procedure approval authorises medicines in more than one European Union member state in parallel.

It can be used for medicines that do not need to be authorised via the centralised procedure and have not already been authorised in any member state, as per the European Medicines Agency.
