Pentoxifylline
Pentoxifylline is a synthetic dimethylxanthine derivative related to theophylline and caffeine in structure. Unlike these drugs, pentoxifylline has hematological effects that make it effective in the symptomatic treatment of peripheral vascular disease sequelae. Pentoxifylline has also been used to treat chronic and acute cerebrovascular insufficiency, sickle cell disease1, and severe diabetic neuropathy. 2 The FDA authorized pentoxifylline in August 1984.

Triamcinolone Acetonide
When taken orally, triamcinolone is a synthetic glucocorticoid that is slightly more potent than prednisone. Triamcinolone has limited mineralocorticoid action and is therefore not used systemically to treat adrenal insufficiency unless combined with a more strong mineralocorticoid. Triamcinolone is marketed commercially in nasal, parenteral, topical, and intravitreal injectable forms. Triamcinolone oral and respiratory formulations were once available but are no longer available in the United States. When intra-articular therapy is indicated, triamcinolone injections are often employed. The nasal spray is used to treat seasonal and perennial allergies. Topical treatments for corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses are of medium or high potency.
