Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22171995 and http://www.rad-ar.or.jp/siori/english/kekka.cgi?n=1602

Carpronium chloride is a hair growth reagent with a vasodilatory action. In vivo studies indicated that carpronium chloride achieved dilatation of vascular smooth muscle in the microcirculation of rats. FUROZIN SOLUTION 5% (active ingredient Carpronium chloride) has local vasodilating effect and hair growth stimulatory effect to improve alopecia and vitiligo. It is usually used for the prevention of hair loss, for hair growth stimulation, and in the treatment of seborrhea sicca and vitiligo vulgaris.
