Absorption of hydrocortisone acetate may vary across abraded or inflamed surfaces. Topical steroids are primarily effective because of their anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and vasoconstrictive action.

CONTRAINDICATION Anusol-HC suppositories are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components. Precautions Do not use unless adequate proctologic examination is made. If irritation develops, the product should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.
