Hello,
Suggestive of Atorvastatin drug.
The small round pill (yellow in color) which has an imprint of HLA 40 is identified as Atorvastatin calcium 40 mg which contains the same medication as that of the older pill hence can be taken as advised by your doctor.
Atorvastatin is used in the treatment of high blood cholesterol to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
