Movicol powder for oral solution

Movicol is a well-known brand of laxative used to treat constipation and fecal impaction. It was originally developed by Norgine, a European specialty pharmaceutical company with a history dating back to 1906. The product contains Macrogol 3350, which works via osmosis to facilitate bowel movements.

The manufacturing process for Movicol is distributed across European facilities to ensure supply stability, with significant production sites located in Hengoed (United Kingdom) and Dreieich (Germany), though specific batch sourcing may vary. As of 2026, Norgine remains the ultimate owner of the brand, continuing its legacy as a private pharmaceutical leader in digestive health across Europe and international markets.
