I received a Lipitor 80mg pill, large white round and fairly flat, with "R" on one side and 196 on the other. Since it is different from the one I had been taking, I wanted to be sure it was the correct medicine. What do those markings mean? Is this just the same medicine from another pharmacy? ## Actually, the tablet that meets this description with the R 196 marking is listed as containing 75mgs of Clopidogrel, which is used to prevent blood clotting. Learn more Clopidogrel details here. It is not Lipitor or the generic for it, which is Atorvastatin. Learn more Lipitor details here. Did you get this as a prescription from your pharmacy? If so, you need to contact them immediately.
