Are there any other brands with the same drug composition? ## Hello, Based on my research, Atorsave D 10 is a brand name medication from India which contains the active ingredient Atorvastatin. The primary uses of Atorvastatin are for the treatment of dyslipidemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disease. It is recommended to be used only after other measures such as diet, exercise, and weight reduction have not improved cholesterol levels. I'm not sure if any of the following formulations match the formulation of Atorsave D 10, you would have to ask your doctor or pharmacist. However, other brand names of Atorvastatin (originating from India) are noted below: A1A AB-VAS ALNAVAS ALIP ALIP-AM ALVASTATIN ALTOVAS ABITOR AMAT AOVA Administration: Can be taken with or without food.
