Interesting. Diphenhydramine (US name Benadryl) is apparently banned as a medication in Germany, thats why you couldnt find any trade names...
Paracetamol and Ibuprofen (thats what they are commonly called here) are relatively common, the others I dont know. But dont you need a prescription for the last four?
Ah that clears things up. There are newer and safer antihistamines than diphenhydramine, so I can probably guess why it's banned.
Yeah those last four are prescription only
