Patient Medication Information: uses, side effects, how to take - Jublia
What JUBLIA is used for:
- JUBLIA is used to treat an infection on the toenail that does not include the base of the nail caused by certain fungi. It is used in patients who have a healthy immune system.
How JUBLIA works:
JUBLIA stops the fungus from making and maintaining their cell membrane. The membrane becomes weak, the fungus can’t survive, and the infection goes away. JUBLIA starts working after the application, but because toenails grow slowly, you may see improvement over time, with clearer, healthier nail growth.
The ingredients in JUBLIA are:
Medicinal ingredient: Efinaconazole
Non-medicinal ingredients: Alcohol, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, C12-15 Alkyl Lactate, Citric Acid, Cyclomethicone, Diisopropyl Adipate, Disodium Edetate, and Purified Water.
JUBLIA comes in the following dosage form(s):
Solution: 10% w/w of efinaconazole.
Do not use JUBLIA if:
- You are allergic to efinaconazole or to any of the ingredients in JUBLIA.
- You are allergic to any part of the container.
JUBLIA is not approved for use in children.

TOENAIL

Clip your toenails every four weeks and always discard the clippings. Be sure to clip uninfected toenails before clipping infected toenails. To avoid spreading the infection, do not share toenail clippers. Be sure to clean the toenail clippers after each use. Daily clipping of the toenails is not needed.
