Application for parallel import or parallel trade

Parallel import implies that a medicine, for which the Danish Medicines Agency has already granted a marketing authorisation, is imported into Denmark through other distribution channels than the ones agreed with the patent holder.

Parallel import and parallel trade can include both foreign as well as Danish-produced medicines. Parallel import is import of a human medicine and parallel trade is import of a veterinary medicine.
