Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "A miracle cure, I think. I used Jublia with two laser treatments over five months. I had infection in ten out of ten toes for the last 12 years. My toenails are almost back to completely normal. The reason I say I think it was Julia is because I became obsessed with getting rid of the infestation. Besides daily Jublia treatments I treated all my shoes daily with an anti-fungal agent and and bathed my feet every thee days in a solution of apple cider vinegar. I also reduced my sugar consumption during this period. It is possible to win that battle."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have been using Jublia for 13 months and my toenails are almost completely fungus free!! My insurance denied my most current refill--probably because the medicine is very expensive--but I have two bottles left and hopefully by the time I have finished them my toenails will be perfect. I have been wearing sandals this summer for the first time in probably 6 or 7 years. So very happy!!!! "

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "First my doctor told me to use tea tree oil- waste of 6 months. I finally got this. Lab tests show 100% efficiency for 15-18% of patients- I'm not one of them. Close to 2 years now on Jublia and I started using bleach on a Q-tip twice daily- wiping it off surrounding skin to avoid irritation. Finally seeing results. The Jublia may have stopped it from spreading to other toes but as an RN doing footcare for years I often saw fungus not spread to the other toes- about 50% didn't. It did cut back on the redness, stopping it spreading and cutting it's perimeters back. I pay 20% of health cost for this drug. Pay the one time fee for laser treatment- it actually does work will save hundreds of dollars over this treatment and save possibly years of treatment"

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Jublia worked on the severe fungal infection that took up half my big toe nail from the moon to the tip. It took 7 months just to kill the fungus (no more slight odor or debris under nail) and then 8 more months to grow out."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I put it on twice per day. For awhile, I didn't think anything was happening. Then suddenly I noticed that my fungus was almost gone! A few more months of diligence and fungus was gone! Fresh, healthy nails! I LOVE Jublia, it worked perfectly and no side effects or dangers as with medication taken internally."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "15 years ago I stubbed my toe on a dock cleat while boating which resulted in my toe nail not attaching to the nail bed of my right big toe. The nail discolored. Eventually fungus formed which then spread to my other big toe. I tried every topical medication known to man. Nothing worked. I finally asked my doc for a script for Jublia. The pharmacist I spoke with said he doubted it would work but it couldn't hurt to try. Over the course of the past 6 months my toe nail has not only adhered to the nail bed but the discoloration and fungus is gone. First medication I've found that worked. Trim the nail back as far as possible to remove all affected area. The new nail growing back will be clear. Apply daily to clean nail."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have only positive things to say about Jublia. Was very sceptical about trying any treatment for my toe fungus. Just thought was something everyone got and was nothing you could do about it. Saw a sign on my doctors door about toe fungus and mentioned that I have that. Doctor prescribed it and after 2 bottles my toe fungus is gone and my fungus that ate away the skin between my toes disappeared as well. Will use the third bottle because I don’t want that coming back. Applied daily exactly as instructed. Was Lucky I had no side effects. Worth giving it a go but understand it doesn’t work for everyone."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I began experiencing toenail fungus-like symptoms around mid 2017. It was more yellow as I entered into 2018 and soon after my other big toe nail was affected and turning yellow. I finally saw my family physician 2 years later. My left toenail was particularly worse. The nail had thickened so much, it made it nearly impossible to cut it properly. I had deep Beau's lines, worse on my left toe. I was prescribed Jublia for potential fungus. I applied it nearly religiously for one year; and after one year, my nails are mostly healthy. I still have at least an inch of yellow nails. My left toe is mostly healthy; however my fungus was so deep that the healthy nail still hasn't fully grown because the nail that did grow out is still yellow. However, it is a MASSIVE improvement. The lines have disappeared. This medication takes ages to work, if it does. It's been over a year and I still have some yellow. My toenails are slow to grow out, and to help my left toe I am still applying Jublia."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I had toe nail fungus for 40 years. The left middle toe was the worst. The rest toe nails all had fungus, but mild. Nothing worked for me in the past, probably due to lack of persistence, because It is hard to apply medication everyday continuously for 1 year without noticing a difference, so you just give up. I tried Jublia. I noticed an improvement on one nail 3 weeks after I started. This got me very motivated. I started taking pictures everyday, and filed the nails to make them as thin as possible. I never missed a dose. Nine toe nails showed visible improvement after 2 months. Finally the left middle toe showed an improvement in 5 months. After 11 months, all toes were cleared. Yay.... I used 3 bottles of Jublia."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "My podiatrist prescribed JUBLIA for a minor fungus in 2 toenails in March 2016. When I found out the outrageous price I asked for other options and she mentioned laser, but my insurance would not cover the $100 per nail and according to her I would have to treat the 10 toenails for it to work. My co payment was $60 a month and I did 5 months.My nails were getting worse with blisters, bleeding and finally it was making holes in the skin of my toes. I went today and she informed me that I had a reaction to the medicine and to stop applying it and prescribed a steroid cream. A topical prescription that cost $630 dollars should have alerted me me that whoever is prescribing it is getting a big kickback. Social Media will be alert."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I applied Julia nightly to my right but toe. At about day 32 it began to get sore. After two more days the toe was becoming reddened, inflamed, a bit swollen, and small blisters appeared on the skin near the nail. Most of that nail or the area beneath the nail appears white. I discontinued the med at that point. At 39 days the inflammation persists. There is some weeping serous fluid coming from under the nail. Still quite swollen. Don't think it's infected, but I'll keep an eye on it of course. Would NOT recommend."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I suffered from onychomycosis (nail fungal infection) of my large toe for 10 years. 3/4 of my nail was detached from the nail bed at all times. I tried everything I could for 10 years with no result. After close to one year of using Jublia every day, my toenail appeared to be normal. I stopped using it for a couple of weeks. I then noticed it was beginning to detach once again. I determined I was not ready to stop using it. I just started to use it once again. I will continue until it looks completely normal once again and then try stopping again."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have had fungus for years. I tried tea tree oil. It helped with also using a dremol (for filing down the nail). Removing surface rot to skin under nail. Yes it hurts and burns . It got some results but did not end it. My doctor prescribed Jubila. I started in Aug now Nov. It is working well. No yellow left. Nails are going white and healthy. I can see the growth of clean nail coming out. I had burning between toes. It was atheltes foot. But using over the counter antifungal creams for healing worked great. I look forward to next Aug as it is said to work by then -1 year. I think it will. Price $120 a bottle Ontario. Treating 6 nails. One bottle is lasting over a month. Maybe around 1000 or less for one year treatment. "

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Hello everyone I have had toenail fungus on my 2 big toes and 2 little toes for 15 years. Multiple rounds of Lamisil and laser treatment with positive results. I read some reviews on Jublia and decided to try it. I have been using Jublia daily for almost 2 months and my nails are about 20% clear. They are growing clean and clear from the quick out. My insurance does not cover Jublia My dermatologist sent me to a specialty pharmacy and they use some type of card and the prescription is only $35. I started noticing results after 3 weeks and I am going to keep going. It will likely be a 6 to 9 month treatment but well worth it. Studies show that less than 17% of people respond to the drug so good luck...."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I volunteered for a toenail fungus study and was able to receive the medicine for free. It took months but all my toes except one are clean and that one is almost fungus free. Also my left big toe was so bad the nail kept coming off but it is now starting to grow back, strong and clear."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "This drug works very well IF you use it diligently (every day) for the full amount of time. I had bad onychomycosis in three toes and after about a year, it's about 95-98% cleared up. You should definitely make sure you are changing your socks, and keeping your nails short to avoid a reoccurrence. I only take off 2 points because it is ridiculously expensive. In Canada it's ~$120/bottle. It's definitely worth the money if you're planning to commit to using it everyday."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have been using Jublia for about six months. The treatment started at the end of August month It is true that the solution wasn't applier each evening sometimes as per recommended prescription.This treatment really works and the toenails look much better One month ago I started to get changes in my vision with terrible headaches that appeared on the daily basis I was wondering if this condition could be as side effect if long term usage of this drug. I will appreciate if I could get a feedback from the manufacturer"

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have been battling toenail fungus for over 20 years and nothing worked. I first had a poor result using Jublia, but after altering my approach to its use, it was successful. As a biochemist, I realized that continuous use of the product builds up a coating on the nail, similar to the oxidation on fiberglass. The trick is to periodically remove the coating and allow the medication to penetrate the nail and get to the fungus underneath. Every week or two, I would gently sand the affected nails with an emery board purchased from the local drugstore. After continuing this process and Jublia applications, it still took over a year for the process to work and the nail to regrow. Also, remember the fungus forms spores which can erupt after the nail appears to be healthy. I kept the treatments going for a period of time after the nails appeared to be healthy."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I had very severe fungus in four toes and had tried a number of over the counter topical medications. I saw the ads for Jublia and finally started using the product about a year ago. Three of my four toes are completely cured and the big toe on my left foot is the only fungus issue left. It's been slow going on this nail, but about 1/3 has grown back completely healthy. I think it might be another year, but I am committed to the process."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "As soon as I started Jublia I saw a difference. I live in the US so HARD to get this drug but worth it. Both my thumb nails had eroded down to no nails at all. People always asked me what was wrong with my nails and what happened. My dermatologist would not prescribe to me so I had to go to doctor who did. I found a coupon got one bottle for only 65.00. My dermatologists did prescribe me terbafine 250 milligrams tablets. I have been taking both together it has only been three months I am on the same one bottle and my nail on the nail-bed that didn't even have a nail has grown back completely. The one on the other hand has been infected longer but it coming along. I have been using less than 3 months. I have been suffering from this condition a decade. I shaved the tip of the bottle down like some suggested and it is still wet without squeezing the bottle. I don't even put it on everyday at all. The staff said there was nothing they could do and my nail-bed was dead boy were they wrong."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "5 years ago, after a pedicure gone wrong, i had one infected big toenail on my left foot. I tried various topical antifungul products, vics vapor rub, Lamisil oral for over a year on and off, various essential oil blends, vinegar soaks and the list goes on and on..... My nail practically turned black at one point! I finally tried laser treatments (four) w/ some minor success. My podiatrist said I may as well try Jublia. While it has a pretty low success rate (i think like 17 or 18%?) my insurance covered it completely (8 mL bottle). Almost instantly i was noticing positive results. After about 6 months, my nail is pretty much clear! I am on the third bottle (this one cost $35, but the first two were totally free). Thankful it worked"

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have been using Jublia for 2.5 months, and results are really good. I guess all negative results are because each fungus is different and what is good for one is not for the other, My doctor told me to file the toenail very hard before applying this med. I bought hardest nail file I could find and did just that. After the first 2 weeks the damaged area completely fell off, but I still continue filing and applying med right after (once a day). Now my whole nail is pink and I don't really know if it's a new growth or just skin, There's some old nail left at both sides, but I hope it'll also come off by the end of 11th month of treatment. I live in Canada and I pay $17.80/bottle after insurance has covered it."
