Follow all the prescriber’s instructions when using this medicine.
Apply Jublia doses daily for the full duration of treatment to eradicate the infection.
Doses are applied using a flow-through brush applicator.
Doses can be applied at any time of day, but try to apply doses at that same time and same place every day.
To apply a dose, hold the bottle upside down over the affected toenail.
Place the brush on the toenail and gently squeeze it to moisten the brush.
Gently brush the liquid over the entire top of the toenail, the skin folds at the back of the toenail, and the skin folds along the sides of the nail.
Do not press down on the brush or try to rub it against the toenail when applying the medicine.
Squeeze the bottle as necessary to moisten the brush, but don’t squeeze it when spreading the medicine.
After covering the toenail, place the brush below the leading edge of the toenail and squeeze to moisten the brush.
Gently cover the underside of the toenail edge, the skin below, and the edge of the toenail.
For the big toenail, repeat this process a second time.
Replace the cap.
Allow the toenail to completely dry before covering it with clothing.
Wash your hands with soap and water.
Do not use nail polish or nail cosmetics on the toenails for the full duration of Jublia treatment.

Jublia is flammable, so keep the medicine away from heat or flame.
