I have 2 new medications which look alike. I need to know if they are for the same treatment. I m not sure whether one is Montelukast generic for singular and the other is a cholesterol generic statin. Called Atorvastatin 1. The 1st pill is round and yellow in color and has the numbers 54 and under that has the number 157. The other side is blank.2. The second pill is round and yellow in color and the number 220 on one side and the letter U on the other.
