I interpreted the two as completely disjunct. In other words anti-agathics would be drugs or treatments that prevent or repair the symptoms of aging. Some of the same tech (cell repair nanites) could potentially do both jobs, but if you have to be frozen to use the tech then I wouldn’t call it anti-agathics. I guess I’m basing this usage on Blish’s “They Shall Have Stars” which predicted it in the fifties.
