Medication Similar to Miralax in Japan

Hello,

I just moved to Japan 3 weeks ago and I am having trouble finding Miralax or something similar. Are there any medications similar to Miralax in Japan? I have chronic constipation and the only thing that has worked well without the use of a laxative, is Miralax. I read online about Movicol (which was approved in 2018) but I cannot find it in any stores. Is it prescription only?

​

If anyone has recommendations it would be extremely helpful. I am almost out of Miralax and really need to find some kind of solution.

Thank you
