The most common side effects of this medicine include burning, stinging, and irritation at the site of application. If these side effects persist for a longer duration, inform your doctor. In case by accident, this medicine goes into your ears, nose, or mouth, immediately rinse it with water.
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any ingredients of this medicine or taking any other medication. It is advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery after using this medicine as it may cause temporary blurring of vision and may affect your ability to drive.
Camphor and Menthol acts by providing a cooling or soothing effect to the eye. While, Naphazoline and Phenylephrine are decongestants that work by narrowing blood vessels of the eye to relieve inflammation (redness or swelling).
Chlorpheniramine has a serum half-life of approximately 20 hours in adults, and elimination from the body is primarily by metabolism to monodesmethyl and didesmethyl compounds. The half-life is increased in the presence of renal dysfunction and decreased in children.
Naphazoline stimulates alpha-adrenergic receptors in the arterioles of the conjunctiva. Ophthalmic administration causes vasoconstriction of conjunctival blood vessels thereby decreasing conjunctival congestion.
Zinc sulfate is a drug used to replenish low levels of zinc or prevent zinc deficiency, or to test for zinc deficiency. Zinc sulfate is the inorganic compound with the formula ZnSO4 and historically known as "white vitriol".
The pharmacokinetics of boric acid (BA) have been studied in animals and humans. Orally administered BA is readily and completely absorbed in rats, rabbits, and humans, as well as other animal species. In animals and humans, absorbed BA appears to be rapidly distributed throughout the body water via passive diffusion.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Andre Ophthalmic Solution is a combination drug containing 'ophthalmic medication,' primarily used to treat allergic diseases of the eye. It helps to treat swelling, redness of the eye, and temporary relief from the eye's discomfort and burning.
If you are using another kind of eye medication (such as drops or ointments), wait at least 5 minutes before applying other medications. Use eye drops before eye ointments to allow the eye drops to enter the eye.
Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it.
Store below 30°C
If you miss a dose of Andre Ophthalmic Solution, skip it and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the dose.
Consult a doctor before taking any medicines.
Andre Ophthalmic Solution provides soothing relief from eye irritation due to allergy.
It should usually be used twice a day (in the morning and the evening). If your symptoms are particularly severe, your doctor may suggest you use them up to four times a day.
Wash your hands first before applying Andre Ophthalmic Solution. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. If it does, squeeze out two or three drops straightaway onto some tissue and rinse the tip with saltwater.
Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after putting the medication. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink or rub your eye.
If you normally wear contact lenses, please wear your spectacles instead until your doctor advises you that it is suitable for you to wear your lenses again.
This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off extra liquid.
