You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.
Directions for Use
Tilt the head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket, then instil 1 to 2 drops into the affected eye(s) as needed, up to a maximum of 4 times a day, taking care not to let the dropper tip touch the eye, eyelid, or any other surface to avoid contamination. Contact lenses should be removed before use and not reinserted until at least 15 minutes after instilling the drops, and if there is no improvement within 72 hours or if symptoms worsen, use should be stopped and a doctor or pharmacist consulted.
Dosage
The usual adult dosage is 1 to 2 drops instilled into the affected eye(s) up to 4 times daily, spaced at least 4 hours apart, and this product should not be used continuously for more than 72 hours without medical advice due to the risk of rebound redness. It is not generally recommended for children under 6 years of age unless directed by a doctor, and the lowest effective frequency should be used to control symptoms.
Shelf Life
Alcon Naphcon A Eye Solution typically has a shelf life of around 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when unopened, but once opened, the bottle should be discarded after 4 weeks even if solution remains, as the sterility of the product cannot be guaranteed beyond this point. Always check the expiry date printed on the bottle and carton before use.
Storage Instructions
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Do not refrigerate unless specifically instructed, and keep out of the reach and sight of children at all times.

Yes. DoctorOnCall offers online consultations with licensed doctors and registered pharmacists, so you can ask about this product, your existing medicines, or anything on the label before you place an order.

How long will delivery take?
Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
What payment methods can I use?
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Can Alcon Naphcon A Eye Solution be delivered to Singapore?
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Is Alcon Naphcon A Eye Solution registered with the authorities?
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my order?
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.

Relevant Information
Naphcon A Eye Solution is widely used in Malaysia and Singapore for quick relief of allergic eye symptoms triggered by haze, dust, air-conditioning, and seasonal allergens, but it is intended for short-term symptomatic relief rather than long-term daily use. Customers with glaucoma, dry eye disease, or those who wear contact lenses regularly should check with a pharmacist before use, and anyone experiencing eye pain, significant vision changes, or symptoms that persist beyond a few days should seek prompt medical evaluation rather than continuing self-treatment.
