I have high cholesterol and my doctor prescribed Lipitor. I was not able to purchase it from the drugstore, so I bought the generic brand, Aztor 20. Will it have the same effect as the brand named one?

Yes, they both contain the same active ingredient, Atorvastatin, which is commonly used to help lower cholesterol.

Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and joint/muscle aches.

The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches.

Have you had your cholesterol checked? Have you had a heart stress evaluation?

Both can let you know whether or not you're at risk.
