Novo Nordisk announced that the European Commission has granted marketing authorisation for Xultophy for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. The authorisation covers all 27 European Union member states. Xultophy is the brand name for IDegLira, the first once-daily single injection combination of insulin degludec (Tresiba) and liraglutide (Victoza).

Xultophy is indicated for the treatment of adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to improve glycaemic control in combination with oral glucose-lowering medicinal products when these alone or combined with basal insulin do not provide adequate glycaemic control.
