Thanks Kirby-more info on blue pill
The white pill in the picture is correct.
The blue one looks the same as the white one- but contains "Chlorpheniramine Maleate 2mg" , which the white one does not have? Hope that will help.
Regards

44-470 and 44-473
They are Wal Mart "Equate" brand cold pills. The white 44-470s are the "daytime" formula and the blue 44-473s are the "nighttime" formula.
Package recommends 2 pills every four hours max 12 in 24hrs.

Does he have allergies
Does he have allergies and need them? These are for allergies as well as colds.
But, Some youngsters abuse dextromethorphan by taking large doses. In a product like this they run a serious risk of liver damage from the acetaminophen. Also, there have been many lethal dextromethorphan overdoses in the last few years. Chlorpheniramine can be very sedating, more so than diphenhydramine (Benedryl).
