chlorpheniramine maleate in FRUZEN SUSP. is an antihistamine used to relieve symptoms of allergy, hay fever, and the common cold. These symptoms include rash, watery eyes itchyeyes/nose/throat/skin, cough, runny nose, and sneezing.
chlorpheniramine maleate in FRUZEN SUSP.  works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. By blocking another natural substance made by your body (acetylcholine), it helps dry up some body fluids to relieve symptoms such as watery eyes and runny nose.

phenylephrine hydrochloride acts on alpha-receptors causing vasoconstriction of blood vessels in the lining of the nasal passages and sinuses. This leads to shrinkage in turbinate size thereby decreasing resistance to nasal airflow and relieving a blocked nose. Phenylephrine also reduces the production of mucus.
The actions of chlorpheniramine maleate and phenylephrine hydrochloride compliment each other. FRUZEN  Suspension helps to relieve multiple symptoms of rash, watery eyes itchyeyes/nose/throat/skin, cough, runny nose, and sneezing.
