Manufactured by Abbott India. Used for the topical treatment of <strong>scabies (<em>Sarcoptes scabiei<\/em>)<\/strong> &mdash; usually as an adjunct to permethrin or as an alternative when permethrin is contraindicated or unavailable; and <strong>symptomatic itch (pruritus)<\/strong> from contact dermatitis, insect bites, atopic dermatitis flares, varicella, and other pruritic conditions. <strong>For scabies:<\/strong> apply to the entire body from neck down once daily for <strong>3-5 consecutive nights<\/strong>, then bathe 24-48 hours after the last application. <strong>Treat all close contacts simultaneously<\/strong>. Wash bedding\/towels\/clothing as for permethrin. <strong>For itch relief:<\/strong> apply 2-3 times daily to the affected areas as needed. <strong>Crotamiton is significantly less effective than permethrin for definitive scabies cure<\/strong> (cure rates 60-70% vs ~90% for permethrin) &mdash; permethrin remains first-line. Itch persists for 2-4 weeks after successful scabies treatment as a delayed hypersensitivity response to dead mites &mdash; this is normal and is NOT treatment failure. Crotamiton itself provides some itch-relief which makes it a useful adjunct during this post-treatment recovery phase. <strong>Crotorax Cream is a topical preparation for cutaneous use only<\/strong> &mdash; do not apply to mucous membranes (eyes, mouth, genitals interior) or to the inside of the ear canal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"medsbase-trust-strip\" style=\"background:#f4f8fb;border:1px

class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Crotorax Cream?<\/h2>\n<p>Crotorax Cream is a topical <strong>crotamiton 10%<\/strong> cream from Abbott India, supplied in a 20 g tube. Crotamiton (also known as N-ethyl-o-crotonotoluidide) has been in clinical use since 1949. It has dual action as an antiparasitic and an antipruritic, making it useful both as a scabies-adjunct treatment and for symptomatic itch relief in non-parasitic conditions. Internationally branded as <strong>Eurax (GSK), Crotamiton<\/strong>, and various generics.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Crotorax Cream Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Crotamiton has a dual mechanism that distinguishes it from pure scabicides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Scabicidal activity<\/strong> &mdash; the precise mechanism is not fully understood, but crotamiton appears to disrupt mite cell membranes and inhibits feeding. Cure rates are notably lower than permethrin (60-70% vs ~90%).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Antipruritic activity<\/strong> &mdash; reduces sensation of itch through poorly-understood interference with sensory nerve endings in the skin. This is the property that distinguishes crotamiton from permethrin and makes it useful for symptomatic itch in non-parasitic conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Onset: itch relief within 30-60 minutes of application, lasting 6-10 hours. Scabicidal effect develops over the multi-night application course.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Crotorax Cream Is Used<\/h2>\n<p>Crotorax Cream is appropriate for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Scabies (<em>Sarcoptes scabiei<\/em>)<\/strong> &mdash; usually as an alternative to permethrin (when permethrin is contraindicated, unavailable, or has failed) or as an adjunct during the post-treatment itch-recovery period<\/li>\n<li><strong>Symptomatic itch (pruritus)<\/strong> from a wide range of causes:<\/li>\n<ul style=\"margin-left:20px;\">\n<li>Insect bites and stings<\/li>\n<li>Contact dermatitis (after the inflammatory phase has settled)<\/li>\n<li>Mild atopic dermatitis flares (steroid-sparing)<\/li>\n<li>Varicella (chickenpox) itch in adults and older children<\/li>\n<li>Sunburn pruritus<\/li>\n<li>Pruritus of unknown origin<\/li>\n<li>Post-scabetic itch (the 2-4 week residual itch after successful permethrin treatment)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crotorax Cream Dosage and How to Apply<\/h2>\n<p>Crotorax Cream comes in a 20 g tube at 10% crotamiton.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scabies Treatment Protocol<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Have a warm (not hot) shower or bath; pat dry.

Manage post-scabetic itch with regular emollient, oral antihistamines, and crotamiton 10% as needed. Persistent severe itch beyond 4 weeks, new burrows, or spreading rash needs medical review.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why must I treat everyone in the household?<\/h3>\n<p>Scabies has a 4-6 week incubation period from infestation to symptom onset, so household members and close contacts may be infested but not yet itching. Treating only the symptomatic person guarantees re-infestation when the silent carriers eventually become symptomatic. <strong>Simultaneous treatment of all close contacts<\/strong> &mdash; including asymptomatic ones &mdash; is the only way to break the cycle.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I really need the second dose at 7 days?<\/h3>\n<p>For crotamiton, the protocol is different from permethrin: apply once daily for 3-5 consecutive nights (not a single application + repeat). The multi-night exposure compensates for crotamiton&#8217;s slower scabicidal action. After the 3-5 night course, no further application is needed unless symptoms persist beyond 4-6 weeks (suggesting treatment failure).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I use Crotorax Cream on my child?<\/h3>\n<p>Crotamiton is generally avoided in children under 2 years (limited safety data). For ages 2-12, paediatric supervision is recommended; permethrin or oral ivermectin (under specialist) are usually the preferred scabies treatments for children. Crotamiton can be used for symptomatic itch in older children.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Crotorax Cream safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>Crotamiton has limited pregnancy data; permethrin remains the first-choice topical scabicide in pregnancy. If crotamiton is used (e.g. for itch relief), restrict to short courses and small body areas, and discuss with your obstetrician.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about washing bedding and clothing?<\/h3>\n<p>Wash all bedding, towels, and clothing worn in the previous 72 hours at <strong>&gt;50&deg;C<\/strong> (130&deg;F) and dry on a hot setting. Items that can&#8217;t be washed at high temperature should be sealed in plastic bags for <strong>72 \u03c9\u03c1\u03ce\u03bd<\/strong> &mdash; mites die without a human host in this window. Vacuum mattresses, sofas, and carpets but extensive cleaning of the household environment is unnecessary &mdash; scabies mites do not survive long off the human body.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should I see a doctor?<\/h3>\n<p>See your doctor if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Symptoms have not significantly improved 4 weeks after the second permethrin application<\/li>\n<li>You see new burrows or fresh papules after treatment (suggests re-infestation or treatment failure)<\/li>\n<li>Itch is severe enough to disturb sleep or daily function<\/li>\n<li>The skin develops crusty, thick patches (could indicate crusted scabies, which needs oral ivermectin + barrier nursing)<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;re pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a child under 2<\/li>\n<li>You have eczema, severe psoriasis, or significantly compromised skin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I order Crotorax Cream online?<\/h3>\n<p>You can order Crotorax Cream from MedsBase in standard pack sizes (20 g tube).
