Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.) is often described as
poor leg circulation, which puts you at double the risk of
heart attack or stroke. That's because, if you have poor
blood circulation in your legs, you may also have it in
your heart and brain. You may feel nothing, but the most
common symptom of P.A.D. is pain or heaviness in the legs.
Take the next step.
So if you're diagnosed with
P.A.D., ask your doctor about a treatment clinically
WITHOUT PLAVIX
WITH PLAVIX
proven to help reduce
your risk of heart
attack and stroke
associated with P.A.D. PLAVIX helps keep blood platelets
from sticking together and forming dangerous clots, the
cause of most heart attacks and strokes. Ask your doctor
about PLAVIX.
To learn more, talk to your doctor today or visit www.plavix.com/PAD or call 1-800-459-6354.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you have a stomach ulcer or other condition that causes bleeding, you should not
use PLAVIX. When taking PLAVIX alone or with some other medicines including aspirin, the risk of bleeding may
increase so tell your doctor before planning surgery. And, always talk to your doctor before taking aspirin or other
medicines with PLAVIX, especially if you've had a stroke. If you develop fever, unexplained weakness or confusion,
tell your doctor promptly as these may be signs of a rare but potentially life-threatening condition called TTP, which has
been reported rarely, sometimes in less than 2 weeks after starting therapy. Other rare but serious side effects may occur.
