When to consider an alternative to Listerine Freshburst Antiseptic

• Tolerability. If bothersome or serious reactions are the problem, review the side effects of Listerine Freshburst Antiseptic first — a same-class option often shares them, so a different class may be the better move.
• Interactions. If a new prescription clashes with your current regimen, check Listerine Freshburst Antiseptic's known drug interactions before choosing a replacement.
