Precautions

Contraindication: Sensitivity to any one of the constituents of Anustat.
Precautions: Like most of the steroids under certain circumstances hydrocortisone may be absorbed in sufficient amount to produce systemic effects. So, long term use should be avoided. Adrenal suppression may occur even without occlusion. When used for prolonged period striae may occur. Skin sensatisation may occur due to Neomycin. Absorption of the antibiotic from wound or inflamed skin may occur and this may affect the hearing irreversibly. Hence, Anustat should not be given to extensively damaged skin

Use in children: Not recommended for children.
