Jublia (Efinaconazole) from Maple Leaf Medications.

What is Jublia?

Jublia, with the generic name efinaconazole, is a topical solution indicated to treat onychomycosis of the toenails due to Trichophyton rubrum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes. Jublia can treat fungal infections but is not indicated for infections caused by bacteria.

This is available in Jublia 10 topical solution.

How does Jublia work?

This azole antifungal prevents certain types of fungus from growing. It inhibits the fungal lanosterol 14 alpha-demethylase, which is involved in the biosynthesis of a constituent of fungal cell membranes called ergosterol.
