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."

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 "I thought Jublia was working after faithfully using it daily for 48 weeks. However, yesterday I noticed more of my toenail had lifted away from the nail bed. I now have about half of my big toenail. It obviously isn’t working for me. I have had no side effects while using it."

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 "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!"

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Prescribed by doctor for nail fungus on fingernails. Nails lifted and got worse, cuticles swelled and oozed yellow, finger tips blistered, painful. Used for 1 month, Went through multiply prescriptions for skin infections. Went to a London drugs pharmacy to talk to a pharmacist. He took one look and suggested a dermatologist for possible reactions and recommended stopping everything and just keeping nails dry and let them heal. Went to the doctor and he agreed. Stop using Jublia. 2 months later when my hands were better but still dealing with nail fungus - and waiting for nail culture. Tried it once as per directions and went through 5 days of swelling inching burning and blisters. Horrible product. Took lamisil pills for a month and nail fungus is stopped and my nails are healthy. Just a heads up for anyone else, using the product and possibly being told to be patient, keep using it - it’s simply the debridement from the nail growing out."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I bought a 4 ml bottle for CAD 120.00 from Shopper drug mart in Kanata. Unfortunately the brush was torn from the very first few application, I am not ready to pay this amount every week so I bought an OTC solution where the application is easier and the cost almost one third of Jublia cost. I will never use it again. I did not have the time to use it, so I will rate 1 out 0f 10."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "My medical insurer and I spent over 200 dollar on Jublia. I wanted to trust it because it seemed to me that for the price, it would be something that works. What happened was all the opposite. When after almost two years I gave up, my nail is actually worse. This so called medicine is a ripoff of sorts. I religiously applied it every day for over a year. How do these companies get away with selling their snake oil is beyond my reasoning. The clinical studies show that the use for 1 years can result in a complete cure in only 15% - 18% cases! "

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have had a toe nail fungus for years on one big toe. I was told Jublia would rid me of it. I retired and very diligently used for a Jublia to get rid of it. I followed all instructions and tried for 1.5 years. It would cause the fungus to recede but would not eliminate it. Please believe me that it is a waste of time and a major waste of money."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I’ve had a very mild toenail fungal infection for decades. Can’t really remember not having it. It neither progressed beyond a quarter-inch strip at the end of both big toenails but given the attention it’s received in media, especially the risk of spreading to others, I decided to “cure” it. There was no spreading to my other toes though. Saw my family doctor and was prescribed Jublia and soon after the refill of my first bottle I developed a SEVERE reaction - blistering, swelling, rash, and redness. I didn’t link the problem to Jublia but did discontinue use. It took months for the skin on my toes to heal and constant attention to avoid infection. No change to my fungal infection, so a few days ago I decided to apply the tiniest bit just to the very tip of the nail, and BOOM a severe reaction within 2 - 3 hours."
