You can get it from an online pharmacy where you fill out a short questionnaire and they post it to you.

The adult version is available otc. The pediatric version always used to be prescription only.

You can buy movicol and also laxido without a prescription.

Then you might like threads about this subject:

You might get sold a different brand depending what they have in stock but all of them are the same thing as Movicol.

Yes. Laxido is the other (cheaper I think) brand. My DS2 has it on prescription but we have bought it OTC when he's run out.
