JUBLIA, 10%, TOP. LIQUID

Common uses

This medication contains a topical antifungal drug. Typically, it is used for fungal infections of the nails. It requires a few months to take effect.

How to use this medication

Instructions for use:

• Make sure that the nails are clean and dry. Wait at least 10 minutes after showering or bathing before applying the product.
• Remove the cap, hold the bottle upside down and gently squeeze to wet the brush attached to the bottle, if necessary.
• Using the wet brush and without squeezing the bottle, spread the solution over the entire surface of the nail, on the skin next to the sides of the nail, and under the nail if possible.
• Repeat these steps for all affected nails. Apply twice on the big toenail.
• Allow to air dry.
• Be sure to replace the cap tightly on the bottle and to store in an upright position.
• Wash your hands with soap and water after application.

This medication is typically used only once a day. However, your pharmacist may have suggested a different schedule that is more appropriate for you. If you forget a dose, apply it as soon as you remember -- unless it is almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed one. Do not apply more to try to catch up.

Possible side effects

In addition to its desired action, this medication may cause some side effects, notably:

• it may cause the skin to become red and swollen;
• it may cause blisters at the application site.

Each person may react differently to a treatment. If you think this medication may be causing side effects (including those described here, or others), talk to your health care professional. He or she can help you to determine whether or not the medication is the source of the problem.
