Hello Gautam
Your father is having "mild cerebral atrophy" with some chronic ischaemic change .
Trental i.e pentoxiphyllin with ecosprine will dislodge the clot in blood vessels , while piracetam will boost the brain ( stimulate the cerebrum ). Since he is also taking ZINC a supplement , while insulin is for his diabetes( IDDM) .
In my opinion this is the best treatment based on the disease .
But you must take this treatment for prolong time for any successful treatment or result.
There are certain side effects of these drugs but not too dangerous , so take the medicine.
Good luck
