Good morning. Dad had been taking Agapurin for a few years, another doctor at a visit after the doppler said that he should stop taking Agapurin because it is a drug mostly helpful in diabetes and recommended Acard, I only read that the drug is for atherosclerosis? Feedback please

Agapurin is a drug indicated for use in disorders of peripheral arterial and arteriovenous circulation caused by atherosclerosis, diabetes, as well as disorders of inflammatory or functional origin, circulatory disorders within the eyeball and inner ear function, and in cerebral ischemia. The active substance of Agapurin is pentoxifylline, which reduces platelet and erythrocyte aggregation, reduces fibrinogen levels (a factor responsible for clot formation) and reduces blood viscosity. Agapurin improves microcirculation by increasing blood fluidity and anticoagulant effects.
Acard contains acetylsalicylic acid, which inhibits platelet aggregation and thus has an anticoagulant effect. Acard is indicated for use in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases that may cause blood clots and embolisms in blood vessels and in the prevention of other diseases with blood clots in the vessels.
Both drugs have anticoagulant effects. Depending on the patient's health, the disease and the response to treatment, the specialist decides on the use of a given anticoagulant.
