For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have taken Kerydin for two years. A huge money maker without results. I use Jublia now for 6 months. Another money maker but no difference. Both drugs are just in for the money."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I had a fingernail infection called onycholysis, which is the separation of the fingernail and the nail bed, and chemical burns due to a nail salon using unsterile equipment. I went to my dermatologist, and she took a biopsy of my nails the same day she prescribed Jublia. She didn't even know I had a fungal infection! This medicine is for toenail fungal infections like onychomycosis ONLY!!! Not only did I have adverse reactions to this medicine, but I had to pay $3,200 for 3 bottles. I had burning, itching, swelling, blisters, and pain from using Jublia. It is NOT MEANT FOR FINGERS, and I contacted the manufacturer, who said it is NOT FDA APPROVED FOR FINGERS either. She is erroneously prescribing this topical solution to her patients and making their fingernail infections worse! I am going to file a complaint. I want my money back and compensation for my pain and suffering for this mistake that my doctor made!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Used this diligently for 10 months - no polish and used an emery board to file the top of the nail to let the medication penetrate better. Saw perhaps a small improvement, then went on vacation and wore polish for a week. After taking the polish off, toenails looked just as bad as before I started. I did continue to apply the product the week I wore the polish. Still using to complete the one year required before supposedly seeing an improvement, but I'm not holding my breath."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have used this drug for 7 months, and I have not seen positive results thus far. I would not waste my time or money using it again. I got my prescriptions at a very reduced cost rate due to insurance coverage, and I still would not use it again. I think there are other options out there that are less expensive and more effective. I have used one round of Lamisil a couple of years ago, and it got rid of two fungus-infected toenails. But I have two more that have not been healed yet."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Have used the product faithfully each day for about 7 1/2 months. May have slight improvement, but not much. Will finish the 3rd bottle and move on. Certainly not worth the exorbitant price, even if covered by insurance."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Slow working but effective in terms 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."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have been using this product for 1.5 years now, and 2 of 5 toes are clear, while the other 3 are not. I used an over-the-counter a few years back, and it seemed to work better, and it was 1/10th the cost. I feel had I kept using it for 1.5 years, it may have worked better than Jublia. The applicator is garbage!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "My left big toenail has a fungal infection that affects about 25% of the toenail and has been present for about 4 years. I took 3 months of oral Lamisil, and the new nail has been growing back perfectly clear. It has grown out about 50%. I started using Jublia after I stopped the oral Lamisil on the affected part of the nail that hadn't grown out yet. I didn't have any problems until after about 3 months of daily use. About a month ago, I started developing small, painful, itching, burning blisters around the skin of the big toenail. I stopped using Jublia, and it took about 3 weeks to clear up. I wasn't sure what caused this but decided to try Jublia again on the toenail because I'm paranoid the remaining fungus will spread to my new unaffected nail. Within 48 hours, the small itching blisters returned, so I'm sure it is the most likely cause since I haven't applied anything else to the toenail."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "After 5 years, no help. My wonderful new girlfriend, a cosmetologist, figured out to spray tea tree oil on them. One week later, OMG! Cured! She sprays it on my piggies 2 to 3 times a day and BOOM... ALL BETTER!"

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 every day) and saw nominal improvement and a return of the fungus when I discontinued use. Back on it and supplement treatment with Vicks VapoRub and a blend of essential oils that have been 'proven' to get rid of the fungus. I've also cut out sugar and grains, all things that supposedly feed fungus. Additionally, I take a daily probiotic. The jury is still out on whether any of this will work. I HATE BIG PHARMA!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I used Jublia for several months, and it has worked no better than Ciclopirox, which was one-tenth the price. Jublia is extremely overpriced and not that effective. Save your money and try other reasonably priced medicines. I am going back to using Ciclopirox."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Not working. The only difference I see is that the infection spread and my toenail dried out, and now I have half a nail. I use RX prescription and only pay $40. I decided to use this instead of Lamasil to protect my liver, but I will definitely ask the doctor for a prescription because Jublia is not working after 6-8 months of use."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have used Jublia Topical Solution 10% w/w for the past 3 years. It was a 6 ml size. I experienced reasonable satisfaction. In December of 2017, Valeant (the manufacturer) upsized it to an 8 ml size and upsized the cost by about 25%. It now appears the contents have changed also, as all that happened was my toenail fungus spread, even though I followed the directions with great care as I did with the 6 ml size. Did somebody add a little water to the wine?"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Used Jublia for 2 years now to treat one nail. At the beginning, I thought it was working well, the color of my nail changed, and I could see the nail becoming healthier. However, after a 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 it is getting better, the fungus reappears. Pretty much a waste of time and money, except that it prevented the fungus from spreading to other nails."
