Brief Answer:
No!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

These are not the same medications. Zontivity is used to reduce blood clotting ability while cilostazol is used to help open up vessels to increase blood flow, especially to the limbs.

I hope that this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
