Movicol laxative

Movicol is a well-known osmotic laxative used for the treatment of chronic constipation and fecal impaction. It was first launched in 1995 and has since become a leading brand in the gastrointestinal health sector. The product works using Macrogol 3350, which helps to soften stools by binding with water in the gut.

The brand is owned and manufactured by Norgine, a European specialist pharmaceutical company with over a century of history. While Norgine is headquartered in the Netherlands, it maintains a significant operational presence in the United Kingdom. Manufacturing for Movicol takes place across several European facilities, including sites in Hengoed (Wales) and Dreux (France), as well as through various contract manufacturing partners in countries like Sweden.
