###Human: I was diagnosed with Peripheral Artery Disease last week. Please advise. ###Assistant: Hi. I have read through your query in detail. Please find my observations below. Statins are widely used to treat PAD. Depending on other conditions, antihypertensives and medicines to control blood sugar levels are prescribed to patients with hypertension and diabetes respectively to control the progress of the disease. There are certain medicines which increase the flow of blood through the arteries by increasing the luminal diameter. They are Cilostazol and Pentoxifylline, and your doctors might have discussed it with you. Medicines to prevent clotting might also be given including Clopidogrel. You should consult a vascular surgeon and regularly follow up. Surgical options include angioplasty, bypass surgery, and thrombolytic procedures. Please consider medicine treatment first and then surgical procedures.
