Clostrole is in 350 ## High cholesterol is most commonly treated with a statin medication, such as Atorvastatin. Side effects to them may include nausea, dizziness, headache and joint/muscle aches.

Are you also watching your diet?

White oval pill with RDY on one side and 122 on the other. Found 2 of them in with my Atorvastatin pills. What are they? ## Hello, Barb! How are you? They are also 20mg Atorvastatin tablets, your pharmacy was probably a few tablets short, when filing your prescription, so they had to use a couple from a different manufacturer.

My Doctor prescribed Atorfit CV 10 or Aztor ASP 75 one tab at night. What are the components. Both caps are having same contents or not? ## Aztor contains Atorvastatin and Aspirin, it is used to thin the blood and help lower cholesterol. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and joint/muscle aches.

I was taking Tonact 20 and Ecosprin 150 separately. Tonact 20 costs about rs.200 for 15 tablets. I came across Ecosprin AV 150 containing both above ingredients in single capsule and costing just rs.20 for 10 tablets. This lowers the medicine bill to absolute low. But what is the catch? Does Ecosprin AV 150 have Atorvastatin that is of low quality and that is why they are selling it at such low price or is it genuine medicine at low price because of some other factors? if so, what are the factors? ## Do you have Insurance to help you? If so, the price difference maybe because you insurance company "prefers" you to take the "2 in 1" pill than taking them separately. In my country (i am a phamracist) we don´t have the "2 in 1".
