Usage and Application

For deep application, nozzle should be attached to the tube and inserted to full extent and the tube should be squeezed gently from the lower end while withdrawing.
Side Effects and Warnings
Side effects which have been reported for individual constituents may occur and appropriate precaution should be taken when using Anustat
Like most of the steroids under certain circumstances, hydrocortisone may be absorbed in sufficient amount to produce systemic effects. In particular, long term use should be avoided. Adrenal suppression may occur even without occlusion. When used for prolonged period striae may occur.
Skin sensitization may occur due to Neomycin from wound or in inflammed skin due to absorption of antibiotic and this may affect the hearing irreversibly. Hence Anustat should not be given to extensively damaged skin.
Contraindication
Sensitivity to any one of the constituents of Anustat.
Pregnancy
Topical steroid should not be used extensively in pregnancy
