Product Description
Andre I-Kul Eye Drop is formulated for short-term symptomatic relief when the eyes become irritated or red because of allergies or minor environmental irritants. Its active ingredients are Camphor 0.01% w/v, Menthol 0.005% w/v, Naphazoline 0.05% w/v and Phenylephrine 0.12% w/v. Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. markets the product in India, and pharmacy listings commonly show it as a 10 ml ophthalmic bottle.
The two decongestant ingredients, Naphazoline and Phenylephrine, act on small blood vessels in the eye and can reduce visible redness and swelling. Camphor and Menthol provide a cooling, soothing sensation that may make burning and irritation feel less bothersome. Andre I-Kul is intended for symptomatic relief rather than treatment of every possible cause of red or uncomfortable eyes.

- Relief of itching and burning caused by minor eye allergies or irritants.

- May provide relief from watery or uncomfortable eyes during allergic flare-ups.

How to Use
- Use Andre I-Kul Eye Drop exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Wash your hands before handling the bottle.
- Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
- Hold the dropper close to the eye without allowing the tip to touch the eye, eyelid or another surface.
- Instil the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye and close the eye gently.
- Replace the cap immediately after use.
- Do not share the bottle with another person.
- Follow the label or your doctor’s instructions regarding contact lenses.
How It Works
Andre I-Kul works through the combined action of its four active ingredients. Naphazoline and Phenylephrine cause constriction of blood vessels on the surface of the eye, which can decrease redness and swelling. Menthol and Camphor provide a cooling and soothing effect that can reduce the perception of irritation and burning. The combination therefore targets several symptoms that commonly accompany allergic or minor irritant-related eye discomfort rather than acting as an antibiotic or treating an underlying infection.
Side Effects
- Temporary eye irritation or stinging.
- Blurred vision immediately after application.
- Eye pain or discomfort.
- Pupil dilation.
- Increased eye redness or ocular hyperaemia.
- Eye swelling.
- Sensitivity to light.
- Changes in heart rate, including a slow or fast heartbeat, have been reported.
Most mild local effects may settle after the medicine is stopped or as the eye adjusts. Tell your doctor if symptoms are persistent, severe or getting worse.
