For Onychomycosis, Toenail "What a terrible product! I had been using Jublia for about a year. Not only did I NOT see an obvious effect, instead one of my toenails had a severe ingrown condition. A year ago, I had to undergo surgery to cut off the problematic nail parts. After several months, unfortunately, the ingrown condition has begun to come back, and it appears that I may need another surgery. Overall, a terrible experience - a waste of time and resulting side effects! I am thinking about filing a complaint against."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Used the product as directed, and it does not work, period! There isn't any change at all in the condition of my pinky toenail. Total waste of a $50 co-pay. And my dermatology office sure did push this medication, they must've been getting a kickback from the manufacturer."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Both feet affected, used prescription Lamisil for 3 months, which totally cleaned up right foot, all toes. Then Zeta Clear on left foot for 4 months...nothing. Filed nails every 2nd day to keep them thin and clean. Switched to Jublia ($55) for a tiny brush on bottle. Nothing, after religiously applying as instructed for 4 months. That's it, will not waste any more money and just file away regularly."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Very expensive, $55 co-pay, and I have been using this exactly as directed for 1 month on my pinky toe with absolutely ZERO results. My toenail looks exactly the same. There is no way the FDA has tried this out, probably fake results sent in by the makers of this medication. Too many people are saying the same thing about this medication not working! It's time for an investigation into the matter."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "This is an ungodly expensive, worthless medicine ($2,000 a month) which gave me head-splitting headaches (never had any before using this terrible drug). As soon as I stopped it, the head pain went away. I suspect my podiatrist is getting kickbacks. He couldn't wait to get me on this junk, and they even immediately mailed it to my house with no copay. It has a dismally low cure rate, and I cannot understand why this nasty, ineffective drug got FDA approval."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Make sure you know the cost. My doctor ordered this for me through my health plan mail order. Plan paid $770 for 8 ml. My cost was $257. Tried to return, but they would not take it back, but gave me $100 back. I was shocked at the price."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "My comments are for the company that makes Jublia. The first prescription was free; I'm not sure if my insurance paid at the time or if it was a promotional gimmick. I went back to get my second prescription filled, and the insurance won't pay for Jublia until you've been on Lamisil. The cost for Jublia 4 mL is $600.00. Highway robbery for consumers and insurance companies. So unless you have a 'fat' wallet, don't waste your time. The average person can't afford this medication."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Very expensive, they say the bottle lasts 100 days but only lasted 30. At 500.00 a bottle... well, you do the math. Did not see any change after using it for 3 months. Total waste of money."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Used 2 bottles of Jublia. Seemed to be working. Then developed very bad side effects. 4 months have passed, and I still have the side effects with no improvement. Weeping blisters and rash. Also, was not told that it was to be used for 48 weeks."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Used Jublia as prescribed by my podiatrist in Santa Monica, CA. Jublia had just come onto the market, and the company was offering a free co-pay for an 11-month trial. Dr. Altchuler signed me up for the program and asked that I report to him as to effectiveness. After 9 months of daily use, unfortunately, I saw little to no improvement, just as I had seen with all of the over-the-counter products. Then, before the trial ended, Jublia discontinued the program and asked for a $40 co-pay. Bottom line: expensive and doesn't work :("

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I’m into my 15 months using Jublia. No improvements! I have a new family doctor now and told another way is with oral pills, which can harm the liver! Not interested! She suggested to continue with Jublia, but this time before each application to file the nail and scrape underneath it. Looks good so far. Keep you posted."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Had all five toes affected on one foot and normal on the other foot. Jublia started working on the big toe, but then the condition slowly reverted to its original fungal state. The medication had no effect on the other four toenails, despite having used it religiously for 12 months according to directions."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I've used this product for over a year - it is prescribed for about a year. There is no sign of the fungus dissipating. The drug has maintained it at a certain level, but it is not better. This drug is also expensive, so if it's not doing its job - and it's not - then I will discontinue it. As a result, I can't recommend it."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "It didn't work. I bought two bottles, almost $300, and it didn't work. Oh, I get it, I did it wrong. Because I had two bottles, I had more than 48 weeks' worth. I did it for around 68 weeks, and it didn't work. Someone at the farmer's market told me to buy the natural path cure, it worked, they told me, and it was cheap."

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 foot care 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 from spreading and cutting its perimeters back. I pay 20% of health costs 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."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "My Dr. finally approved this prescription. Only to find out my insurance wouldn't cover it. So I asked the pharmacist how much it was. $1,000 for an 8 oz bottle. Guess I will have to live with my nasty toenails!"
