Benadryl Plus contains acrivastine and a decongestant. Benadryl Once-A-Day is Cétirizine, which is available OTC under various brand names from all pharmacies.

Réactine, Humex Rhinite Allergique, Actifed Allergie and Zyrtecsec all have cetirizine as their active ingredient and are all OTC in pharmacies in France.
