Anyone know where I can purchase this higher dose from online, I can't find it. I know you can get on prescription but I would rather buy it online

Buy the standard 400ug tablets from the chemist and then take 12, that will give you a dose of 4800ug which is just shy of the 5mg increased dosage. That is what I did as I couldn't get a GP appointment to get a prescription for the higher dose.

I got some from my midwife. You can’t buy the 5mg strength. Alternative is to take 12 of the 400mcg as PP suggested.
