I just wanted to know whether aztor 10mg and torvacol 20mg are the same (containing atorvastatin)? And how long can u take them? My doc told me to take aztor 10, but in the gulf u don't get these meds. Please reply. ## Hello, Victor! How are you? Yes, they both contain Atorvastatin, so they are interchangeable and you should take it as long as your doctor deems it safe for you to do so. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and joint/muscle aches. Is there anything else I can help with?
