Heart Byepass Surgery

My brother in law who is now aged 68 years underwent a byepass surgery two years back and after around a month he developed neuro problems like doule vision etc. He was advised the following additional medicines by the neuro specialist in addition to the medicines prescribed by the cardiology doctor:
Pletox 50, Orokinase, Tonact TG 50, Trentol 400. Please advise how long the above tablets have to be taken.

As to how long he should take them, that really depends on his condition and how long his doctor advises their use, it can vary from person to person, depending on how severe their condition is and how they respond to the medications. Some people may need to take them for the rest of their lives.

Pletox contains the active ingredient Cilostazol, it's used to prevent clotting in people with peripheral vascular disease.

Common side effects may include: nausea, headache, increased heart rate and palpitations.

Regarding the Orokinase, I actually think that the corrected spelling of that medication is Urokinase. From what I have gathered in the article, it is "used clinically as a thrombolytic agent in the treatment of severe or massive deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, and occluded intravenous or dialysis cannulas".

I do not think this as an approved or recommended drug by any standard guideline or in any proper review.Playing God with Thrombolysis with anectdotes is a danger that risks people to unneccesary adverse effects.How do the regulatory agencies who act as though there rules are like HOLY COWS allow such things and pass by?
