anti-anaemic agent  A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood.
antiatherosclerotic agent  A cardiovascular drug that prevents atherosclerosis (a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque). Compare with antiatherogenic agent.
