What medications are used for someone who has poor circulation due to diabetes type 2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several: Treatment of poor circulation depends on the symptoms and stage of disease. Medically these patients should be on antiplatelets like aspirin, statins to lower bad cholesterol like Lipitor (atorvastatin) , some medications to help with walking but don't affect the blockage like pletal. Must have tight sugar control. In advanced stages stenting or bypass surgeries are needed.
