Synonyms:	crotalgin crotamiton crotamitone crotamitonum crotonyl-N-ethyl-o-toluidine N-ethyl-N-(2-methylphenyl)but-2-enamide N-ethyl-o-crotonotoluidide
Definition:	An enamide resulting from the formal condensation of crotonic acid with N-ethyl-2-methylaniline. A colourless or pale yellow oily liquid, it is used in the treatment of pruritus (itching) by producing a counter-irritation: as it evaporates from the skin, it produces a cooling effect that diverts attention away from the itching. It has also been used as an acaricide in the treatment of scabies, though more effective drugs are usually preferred.
