For Onychomycosis, Toenail "I have had fungus for years. I tried tea tree oil. It helped with also using a dremel (for filing down the nail). Removing surface rot to skin under the nail. Yes, it hurts and burns. It got some results but did not end it. My doctor prescribed Jublia. I started in August, now November. It is working well. No yellow left. Nails are going white and healthy. I can see the growth of clean nail coming out. I had burning between toes. It was athlete's foot. But using over-the-counter antifungal creams for healing worked great. I look forward to next August, as it is said to work by then - 1 year. I think it will. Price $120 a bottle Ontario. Treating 6 nails. One bottle is lasting over a month. Maybe around 1000 or less for one year of treatment."

For Onychomycosis, Toenail "Prescribed by doctor for nail fungus on fingernails. Nails lifted and got worse, cuticles swelled and oozed yellow, fingertips blistered, painful. Used for 1 month. Went through multiple 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 letting 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, itching, 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 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!"
