Description
Important Information Before Buying Jublia Medication Online:
Jublia (efinaconazole) is a prescription topical solution used to treat fungal infections of the toenails (a condition called onychomycosis). It is approved for adults and children aged 6 and older. Efinaconazole is an azole antifungal that works by blocking an enzyme the fungus needs to build its cell membrane. As a result, it stops the fungus from growing. Unlike antifungal pills, very little of the medicine is absorbed into the body.
Directions
Apply Jublia to the affected toenails once per day for 48 weeks, using the brush built into the bottle. Make sure your toenails are clean and dry, and wait at least 10 minutes after showering, bathing, or washing before using it. Hold the bottle upside down over the nail, gently squeeze to wet the brush, and spread the solution over the entire toenail, the cuticle, the skin along the sides, and under the nail tip. For the big toenail, apply it a second time.
Let the area dry completely before putting on socks or getting into bed, and wash your hands with soap and water afterward. Use Jublia only on toenails and the skin around them, and keep using it for the full time prescribed, as toenails grow slowly and improvement can take months.
Ingredients
The active ingredient in Jublia is efinaconazole. The inactive ingredients may include alcohol, anhydrous citric acid, butylated hydroxytoluene, C12-15 alkyl lactate, cyclomethicone, diisopropyl adipate, disodium edetate, and purified water.
