Hi! I've pulled a quote from a post by "melzie" last year. This might be helpful to you.

"Anyway to answer your query.. Yes I got it on prescription in Ireland when I lived there (in the Midlands) - I got it initially via my GP/Doctor and then the next time the Pharmacy guy ordered it for me..(twice)) - with the last time being at the beginning of 2009.

BEFORE that however I ordered it online via pharmacy.ca (where I paid!) - but in Ireland with the prescription I got it free (because of my medical card!). You just need to explain it to your Doctor your situation and if they are a good Doc they will try and help, I found most docs/medical folk very helpful in Ireland so I'm sure they will!"

Hi. As far as I know robinul is still available in the UK (robinul and Avert are basically the same by the way - I think Avert is just a trade name for it).
I got robinul (also called glycopyrrolate) prescribed as a solution (which you applied to the affected area using something like say cotton wool) in 2003. By 2005 it had changed on the NHS to a powder form. I was going to get this prescribed (and actually did get a prescription for it from a GP) but I never took the prescription to a chemist to get it, because the GP had told me (probably trying to make me feel guilty) that it was very expensive for them to prescribe. That was the last contact I had with robinul / glycopyrrolate on the NHS, but I'm assuming it'll still be available in some form. Might be worth asking someone at NHS Direct if they know if it's still out there?
Sorry if this isn't much help.

(Tried to just use pertinent part of the quote, but no dice.)

Robinul and Avert are BOTH brand names for glycopyrrolate. Avert is the name it's sold under in Canada.
