Tronothane in Common Pruritic Syndromes

Abstract

Tronothane produced excellent or good palliative results in 172 out of 185 cases of pruritus of varied etiology. Unique properties of Tronothane (low sensitizing and toxicity potentials, not a “caine” derivative) were reflected in absence of irritation or sensitization; patients sensitive to other topical anesthetics showed no cross sensitivity to Tronothane.
