This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 amends the Form S-1 Registration
Statement No. 333-04176 of Anesta Corp. (the "Registrant") filed on April 29,
1996 and last amended on June 6, 1996 (the "Registration Statement"). Pursuant
to the Registration Statement, 3,450,000 shares of the Registrant's Common
Stock were registered. Between June 6, 1996, the date on which the
Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and the date hereof, 3,000,000 shares of the Common Stock were
sold. In connection with the underwriting arrangements relating to the sale of
the Common Stock, the Registrant granted the underwriter an option to purchase
up to 450,000 shares of Common Stock, which has not been exercised and has
since expired. Therefore, the Registration Statement is hereby further amended
to deregister 450,000 shares of Common Stock, thereby reducing the number of
shares covered by the Registration Statement to 3,000,000.
