Brief Answer:
Red eye is unrelated to these drugs

Detailed Answer:
Hello, XXXX.

I understand your concern.

This is unlikely to be the side effect of Androgena or Anvite.

Both these drugs do not cause eye side effects like conjunctivitis.

The red eye can be due to an unrecognised infection.

Short course of eye drop antibiotics will help.

Another possibility could be allergy to some component of the medicines but it is usually associated with itching and other symptoms.

Post your further queries if any.

Thank you.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
