Medicine Description listerine-reg-green-tea 250 ml
LISTERINE® GREEN TEA is a medication that combines essential oils, fluoride, and green tea extract to provide a multifaceted approach to oral health. The essential oils in LISTERINE® GREEN TEA, including eucalyptol, menthol, and thymol, exhibit antimicrobial properties that help disrupt the formation of plaque and inhibit the growth of bacteria that contribute to gum disease. Fluoride works by strengthening tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and sugars, thereby preventing cavities. The green tea extract is rich in catechins, which are antioxidants that can reduce inflammation and provide additional antibacterial effects, promoting overall gum health. Together, these components work synergistically to enhance oral hygiene, combat bad breath, and protect teeth and gums from decay.
