That easily fits in 80 columns, no need to post to web:

    TRIAMCINOLONE ACETONIDE CREAM USP,      O

Pretty good job.

I'd change how the double bonds are repsented in the lower left,
and try to get the angles closer in the upper right.

Figuring out how to get diagonal lines of the right angle is always
tricky. With more time I'd fix some more of those, to make the hexagons
look more accurate for example.
