That sounds like it could be a different medication. Any chance you can share the NDC # from your prescription? That could help to look up the specific drug label which should list the inactive ingredients.

I am gluten intolerant and take 20 mg of Atorvastatin. White oval shape one side has TV written on it the other side has 5058 written on it. Does it contain gluten?

Re: Bill (# 25)

White tablets with TV 5058 are actually reported to contain 40 mg of Atorvastatin (NDC 0093-5058). It appears to be gluten free, as the inactive ingredients listed are:

- Calcium Carbonate
- Croscarmellose Sodium
- Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (200000 Mw)
- Hypromellose 2910 (6 Mpa.s)
- Lactose Monohydrate
- Magnesium Stearate
- Microcrystalline Cellulose
- Polyethylene Glycol 6000
- Polysorbate 80
- Talc
- Titanium Dioxide

The composition of inactive ingredients can really depend upon each manufacturer of Atorvastatin. Some may or may not contain any gluten, but if you know the marking or imprint on your tablet, it should be possible to find a list of the ingredients. Any additional details on the pill's physical properties (i.e. shape, color) would also be good to have as well.
