Has anyone done a UK list or a list with the active ingredients instead of brand names? Products tend to change frequently though the brand names often don't so knowing the active ingredient to look for might be safer.

Benedryl changed their active ingredient after the Fen-fen scare a few years ago. I believe their former active ingredient is the active ingredient in Nytol these days.

Also Pepto Bismol/pink bismuth mixture may contain salicylates which is the same as asprin. Check the label and if your mixture has salicylates then avoid giving asprin at the same time to prevent asprin toxicity.
