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!"

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 2 nd 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 "Big toes had separation for 30 years..in the summer wearing sandals it slightly improved but 1/3 of my nails were not connected to the nailbed. Always self conscious, if I wore polish it got worse and turned black. Started Jublia 10 months ago...with great results. I file the nail and cut it as short as posible. I use a dental pick to scrape any gunk from under my nail. I wait 15 minutes after my shower to make sure my nails are dry so the med wicks into the nail. I also put it on before bed so I use it twice a day. I haven't used polish but my nails look fantastic. I have insurance and pay $50 for 3 months...I would gladly pay more because my nails have never looked this good. I'm anxious to find out if I can ever do without it."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "My comments are for company who 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 2nd prescription filled and the insurance won't pay for Jublia until you've been on Lamisil. The cost for Jublia 4ML 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 "I had five toenails affected with nail fungus. My Podiatrist put me on Jublia 15 months ago. I have had 4 laser treatments and have faithfully used Jublia every morning for 15 months. I have kept my nails clean and short. At the beginning of my treatment I was getting a bottle of Jublia delivered to my home at no cost for about 8 months. One bottle would last about 3 weeks. Then suddenly I wasn't getting refills. After several phone calls I was told I needed to pay $40 per bottle. I was ok with that as I really wanted to continue the treatment for one year as recommended by my Dr. After I began paying for it, I noticed the bottle was actually full and lasted about 6 weeks. I have only seen a slight improvement. Didn't work!!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I bought it when it with out a prescription. It dissolved my thumbnail which came off completely. The area above nail blistered and itched and was heat sensitive. Nail grew back but came off again. Now a deformed lumpy nail like thing is growing back. I recently briefly treated itchy area with tea tree oil and Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and the itching stopped and blister went away. Feels normal now but looks terrible."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I had a fingernail infection called onycholosis which is the separation of the finger nail 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 onchomycosis ONLY!!! Not only did I have adverse reactions to this medicine but I had to pay $3200 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 finger nail 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 Dr made!"

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."

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

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I bought the Jublia medication and applied exactly as prescribed every day for 10 months with basically zero change to all 10 infected toes after this timeframe. I paid nearly $975 per bottle for this stuff with Blue Cross insurance refusing to cover the prescription; and now I know why- because it just doesn't work! So $10,000 later, I am back to square one. Valeant, the manufacturer of this worthless stuff, should be sued for false claims."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "$2434.00 for a 8ml 2 month supply bottle. Your kidding me. And I have to take 12 months worth. I got a coupon and my insurance paid a lot which left me with $200 dollars but that is way to much. Give back to humanity people. The people selling it will definitely be some of the first to go if apocalypse happens or a civil war. Lol"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I am 49 and have had horrible foot and toe nail fungus since I was 17!!!! I went to endless doctors that didn't seem to care. Then I just learned to live with it. A few years ago I was referred to a podiatrist from my family doctor and I started on Julia. I used it for a year. Came off, I think only one or two toenails healed. Then I went back on last year and got remarkable results. Although it could also be related to the fact that I stopped wearing squishy heels."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I've been using Jublia daily for 8 months now and my toenail has just gotten progressively worse. When I first went to the podiatrist my big toenail was still pink at the bottom and was just yellow at about the top third. My nail is now entirely yellow and about a third has crumbled away at the top."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Had three fingernails infected. Somehow got it in a golf glove during the summer and it got into the nails. Been using the product for 10 months. My pinky cleared up nicely in 6 months and is completely normal now. The other two nails are continuing to improve so i am still using the product. For me filing the top of the nail before application seems to be more effective. I've been doing that for the last two months. Perhaps, for me, it allows the medication to penetrate through the nail better. My copay is $40 and I've only used three bottles in 10 months."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Two big toes infected, 1 year and > 10 years. Whole nail rotting on both. One month on Jublia so far. Looking clear now, and just need to see how they grow out. The first week of Jublia my feet were immersed in water many hours a day in neoprene booties while kayaking. I think that helped to kill the fungus, and allowed the medication to deeply penetrate the nail. I also used a pedicure tool to keep all areas of the cuticle and under the nail clean. I put the medication on once a day, never missing a day, after a good soak in water."

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 been using this product for 1.5 years now and 2 of 5 toes are clear where 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 podiatrist prescribed Jublia to battle a years old fungal infection in every nail on my left foot. I’ve tried laser treatment in the past, tea tree, OTC antifungal meds with minimal results. I have really been trying to be consistent with using it. I purchased an electric nail filing tool to keep the nails thin so the medication can penetrate. I am slowly seeing results and hope to continue. I am very grateful to have insurance coverage for this very expensive medication since I use 5 drops a day. If you use this I suggest using it and letting it dry before having contact with any fabrics (socks, bedding etc) stay barefoot as much as possible, keep cuticles trimmed, and you can still do a Tea tree foot soak. I will update progress in a few months!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "DO NOT use with Atorvastatin for high cholesterol! I had extreme muscle pain & degeneration in back waist down & thighs until finally realized -had to be drug interaction! Azole antifungals should never be used with statins. (found out in internet searching; within NIH study warning physical therapists that some patients’ problems might be due to statin use.) azole anti-fungals and statins use same pathway in the body; you get destroyed! I was feeling like 90-yr. old lady; Affected me cognitively, also. Once stopped both, got better & better; probably had rhabdomyalosis -damaging muscle cells. I am not as good as I once was, you can’t grow new muscle cells. Your doctor probably doesn’t even know about interaction of azoles & statins- most can’t keep up, knowing all details. *used Jublia 3 mos., 2x week, not daily. Sorry, happened 5 years. ago-should’ve warned sooner. See, it still affects me; on my mind!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Probably about 80% of my nail was discoloured for the last 20 years (at least) with this fungus. I recently stubbed my toe and the nail was lifted off the bed and eventually came off. I thought that should get rid of the fungus. Nope, when the nail returned so did the fungus. I've been using jublia for about 5 weeks now and I see a remarkable improvemet. The 'pink' area has at least tripled and I'm fully confident it will return to normal. I think the reason why it takes so long is that the toenail is very slow growing. Works for me."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Jubila worked for me! I’ve had really bad fungus on 2 of my toenails for years and this really took care of it. It took about 6-7 months to see amazing results! This is not an overnight treatment, you must be consistent and use it everyday to see it work. It’s been 7 months and my new nail that has grown is is fungus free!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Liked the first bottle and seems to be working. SEcond bottle round not oval, VERY, VERY hard to press for a drop, can't tell if there is a drop or not as the brush is so thick until it is put right on the nail and by then there may be 2 drops on the brush. VERY VERY difficult to tell how much you are using at $83.00 per bottle which lasts 3 weeks this is a very expensive way to use. I had no problem with the first bottle. Oval in shape easy to squeeze for a drop, brush was easy to see what you are doing."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have been fighting nail fungus for over 30 years;( I've tried grisefulvin, lamisil and then jublia in 2015. I did jublia for 10 months and then got severe skin reaction. Intense itching, blisters etc. The podiatrist had me soaking my feet, trying this cream etc. I went off jublia let my skin get back to normal which took a few months. I just restarted back on it after over a year off because its the only thing that has worked. The itching returned immediately I am trying to manage it."
