Medicine Description listerine-reg-zero-alcohol 250 ml
LISTERINE® ZERO ALCOHOL is a medication designed to support oral health through its unique formulation. It operates primarily by utilizing its active ingredients, including fluoride, to protect teeth against decay and fortify enamel. The fluoride works by remineralizing areas of the teeth that may be weakened by acidic attacks from bacteria and sugars. Furthermore, the formulation is designed to target harmful bacteria in the oral cavity, which contributes to plaque formation and bad breath. By disrupting the cell membranes of these bacteria, LISTERINE® ZERO ALCOHOL effectively reduces their population, enhancing overall mouth hygiene and contributing to fresher breath without the use of alcohol, making it suitable for sensitive individuals. The absence of alcohol minimizes the risk of irritation to the oral mucosa, making it a gentler alternative for daily use.
