Enough to warrant a recall back in 2010: "From August 2010 through December 2010, Pfizer recalled specific bottles of LIPITOR (atorvastatin calcium) tablets (40 mg only) due to a small number of reports of an uncharacteristic odor related to the bottles in which LIPITOR is packaged. A medical assessment has determined that the odor is not likely to cause adverse health consequences in patients taking LIPITOR.

Unfortunately, it not available in the U.S. so we have no records of the description of the tablets. Have you tried checking with your local pharmacist? They should be able to let you know whether or not you have the correct tablets. Does anyone else have information on these pills?

Can Aztor 20 lower you platelet count? My platelet count was 281 last week and the only change in my medication was that I have been advised to switch from rose day 10 mg to Aztor 20. My platelet count in a span of 8 to 10 days has dropped to 128. Do Aztor tablets contain Atorvastatin? ## Yes, that is the active ingredient in them, and yes, it has been known to cause this as a side effect, according to NIH reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches. Are you on any other medications?

I ordered lipitor 10 mg as I always have and did not receive the normal eclipse shape pill. I receive a round pill imprinted with 10 on one side and ATC on the other side. Has anyone been aware of pfizer lipitor changing the shape of their 10 mg pill. ## change in shape of lipitor brand tablets. Got new rx for 20mg lipitor and saw round shape so called canada where I get them from and they said this is the new shape for lipitor. ## I can't find any information on a pill with that marking in any of our resources, but if it is from a foreign country, then that makes sense. turtle, did you also order from Canada?
