Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Used Jubia for about 4 months, and all I can say is amazing amazing amazing. I've had toe fungus for 12 years, and nothing ever worked. I had it on every single toe, and they were all severe, painful, and inflamed all the time. Some of the nails took a little longer than others, but 100% success! This product clearly doesn't work for everyone, but anything is better than liver killing meds. If you have the means to try it, TRY IT. It is an expensive product, but there's a 50 50 chance it could work!"

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Have been on this medication for six months. Three out of my six infected nails are totally clear and I am seeing new clear growth on the other three nails! I grind and clip my nails aggressively twice a week and am religious in application."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I've had bad toenail fungus for the last 5 years. I've lost 3 or 4 toenails bc of it (one of them being the nail on my big toe). After 18 months without a new nail on my big toe I asked my podiatrist who prescribed Jublia. It's true that it is a very slow working treatment, but after 4 months of using, I finally have almost 3/4 of a nail on my big toe. My other smaller toenails that were thick and yellow are no longer like that. The yellow color is gone and they are significantly thinner. I will use this the full 11 months bc with the results I've seen so far in 4 months I am confident in the next 7 months I will be fungus free."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "It totally works. I got this from a pedicure and for four years I did lamisal and a laquer cicloporix and it kept coming back I've used jublia for a year and my nail is clear. I will never have a pedicure again. I have 3 bottles left and I am not sure if I should keep using it or stop now. I just don't want it to come back. By the way I never skipped one application."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "You can get a manufacturer’s coupon that will reduce the cost from $700 to $65. Only one coupon every 30 days, though, and a bottle doesn’t last 30 days. I also bought an OTC and used Jublia in the morning and the OTC at night. My nails were about 50% involved in early stages and were clear in 6 months with new growth. BUT less than a month later, the fungus started thickening my nail again. So it is not penetrating as advertised to the nail bed. 8 years ago I did laser treatment when two nails were in VERY bad shape. Grew back clean and stayed clean until last year."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Jublia is very expensive and it leaks from bottle so fast in 3 weeks is like "gone with the wind". In Europe the cost for 1 bottle is $7.00 - in Canada we pay $89.00 and here $77.00 Applicator from Europe is very well designed but the design in Canadian applicator is no good, because how is made liquid leak too fast. In Canada Jublia 6ml last 3 weeks, the same dosage from Europe I'am using for 6 weeks and is not yet finish. Canadian company charging is charging too much."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "After using Jublia for 1 week, I see a slight improvement in the color and strength of my nails. I found that the applicator would leak out more than was needed so I squeezed the entire bottle into a small glass container and dip a plastic stick in for application. I would admonish others to carefully clip/file down all affected nails as low as possible prior to starting Jublia regimen as this makes penetration easier. A total cure possibility is claimed to be 17%, so once Jublia is discontinued, the problem will most likely reappear. It beats watching ones' nails melt away."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Used Jublia for 2 years now to threat one nail. At the beginning I thought was working well, the color of my nail changed, I could see the nail becoming healthier. However, after few months when I was expecting it to be cured the fungus started appearing again. Since then, for more than 2 years, it is an on and off story. Every time I say is getting better the fungus reappears. Pretty much a waste of time and money, except that prevented the fungus to extend to other nails."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have had fungal toenails on 4 toes for decades. I used one bottle of Jublia and could see improvements. Unfortunately, part way through the second bottle I developed an allergic reaction - severe itching and blistering. It is too severe to continue. One application causes the severe blisters, redness, itching and weeping. It is disappointing but not uncommon for me to develop skin allergies. I have also developed reactions to tea tree oil, Vick's vapor rub, benzoyl peroxide."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have used Jublia for 6 years and still have toenail fungus, now on three nails instead of just one. I apply Jublia daily, change my socks every day and some times twice when I change shoes, and spray the insides of my shoes with Tinactin twice a week. I have supplemented this regime with monthly soaks with bleach. Frustrated!"

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have been using Jublia for 3 months now. I apply it every evening, keep the nail clipped, filed, clean and dry. No improvement. Woke up this morning to find red, itchy and blistered skin and clear pinkish fluid oozing from under my nail! It looks very painful but I don't feel a thing, thank goodness! While I'm waiting to hear back from my Dr. I'll fill you in the cost. First, went to CVS to find out it was $628.00! Received a Walgreens coupon form my Dr. which my insurance allowed for $125.00."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Have been using this product for about 6mos and have seen a healthier toenail. A trip to a salon for a pedi gave me this condition. I'm discouraged reading the others reviews my hope was for complete cure however there is improvement time will tell. I've been told it can take up to a year for treatment to work completely. My nail isn't as thick and the skin around nail bed isn't has dry and peeling. I'm lucky my insurance and co-pay coupon has resulted in zero out of pocket cost. Jublia is insanely expensive."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have taken Jublia for 40 weeks now. Almost the required 48 weeks. Of the five infected toe nails 2 are completely cured, 1 is still infected with no change, 1 is 50% cured and the big toe is probably 80% fungus free. So it is better than nothing but it definitely isn't the cat's pajamas in fungus treatment."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "After 21 years of toe fungus, and trying everything, this (combined with laser treatment and topical Clotrimazole all over the skin of the foot for the first couple months) has finally worked for me! I started about a year ago, with the two months of Clotrimazole on the surrounding skin. Did laser treatment at the beginning. Now all nails are 100% clear. I continue to use Jublia on the last nail to clear just for good measure but I don't use it on the others at all anymore- they are that clear! This is nothing short of a miracle. By the way, did laser before and Clotrimazole many times as well without great results. I got these results by adding, the expensive, but oh so worth it, Jublia. I also change my socks frequently and wash them in very hot water. Good luck brothers and sisters in toe fungus!"

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Slow working but effective in the term of about 18 months. I then took a few months break and upon restarting, I developed a SEVERE chemical burn on the skin around both the toenails. The entire toes and adjacent toe were involved. I had redness, blisters, bleeding, and intense itching. One of the toenails detached completely. At first, I didn't think it was Jublia, but it's confirmed. The healing process was very slow, a few months for the skin to be back to almost normal. I'm still struggling."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I'm using Jublia right now - so far so good.. I started to use Jublia about ~2 months ago after noticed that my toenail is thickening and yellow. My podiatrist confirm that it's a fungus and warned me that Jublia has only 40% success. As I didn't want to take the oral medicine (liver risk or something like that...) I decided to try Jublia . my toenail is still a bit thick after 2 months however the color is white again and it looks much better. Will definitely continue with Jublia all the ~11 months. Got a prescription ($25 copay per bottle) via some pharmacy plan that my podiatrist recommended."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I had fungus on my toenails for more than 30 years. Tried everything, laser treatment, tea tree oil, oral medication which damaged my liver function. The best is Jublia, I have used for 7 months, 7 out of 10 nails are back to normal. Only 3 more left have been completely cured. What an amazing effective product! Only things I didn’t like it’s a bit expensive and take a while to see the results! Thanks Jublia!"

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Been using for 8 months on right big toenail and left and right smallest toenail. Applying everyday faithfully, no results. Pay $40 a month copay. What a rip off. Do not buy and do not waste your money. Why are doctors prescribing this medication when it is not working for so many people? Of course, they get money off this also. So many desperate fools out there being exploited once again by the medical profession. One doctor told me point blank--"you will never get rid of this problem." He was right. DO NOT BUY JUBLIA!!!!"

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Been using Jublia for 10 months. Was getting detachment of the nail on the big toe and Doctor said 8 of the 10 toes had some stage of infection. Now just have a spot on one toenail with clear growth halfway up the nail. I used it as instructed and I'm one of the fortunate ones - I am nearly clear if the toenail fungus now. Will keep it that way by never getting a pedicure ever again."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "This actually is very effective for me. I've been on it for 6 months and 2 of my toes are now healthy and normal, with the other 2 improving. The $200 price for 8mL is just disgusting but if you can afford it its worth a shot. I've used a bottle and a half now, and I doubt I'll need a third. So $400 to fix my nails and my confidence isn't too bad I guess."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "I've been battling toenail fungus for about 10 years. Tried the generic version of Lamisil (Terbinafine), but quit that nasty drug as it made me feel ill. Have had laser surgery twice...what a joke. In fact, I think it damaged my nails and sadly, I don't think they'll ever be the same again. I was on Jublia for a full year (applied everyday) and saw nominal improvement and a return of the fungus when I discontinued use. Back on it and supplement treatment with Vicks VaporRub and blend of essential oils that have been "proven" to get rid the fungus. I've also cut out sugar and grains, all things that supposedly feed fungus. Additionally I take a daily probiotic. Jury is still out on whether any of this will work. I HATE BIG PHARMA!"

Toenail almost grown back out. Best it has ever looked. Just found out my insurance will no longer cover it next year. Hope my supply lasts until it is gone."

Jublia (efinaconazole) for Onychomycosis, Toenail "Before: All nails infected. 6/10 were completly white. Tried various stuff from the shelf @ london drugs. Nothing helped. GP prescribed Jublia. 1.5 months in and I'm 90% cured. I will continue as prescribed for 6 months, so it doesn't come back. Very happy with this applicant. Also:Bought brand new socks, wash my feet 3X daily with warm water and soap. Try to be barefoot every chance. Seems to be different ways working for each individual. Keep trying things and find what works for you! Stay consistent. Also:Blue cross paid majority: costed me about 20$ a bottle. I live in Canada."
