Jublia (efinaconazole topical solution 10%) was approved for use in treating toenail fungal infections in 2014. The company which distributes it in the U.S., Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, has a history of charging astronomical prices for its drugs and the situation is no different for Jublia. A 4 ml bottle (enough to treat one toe daily for a month) has a cash price of about $649, and even with easily available discounts, it costs about $550. It will likely be many years before a less expensive generic version is available in the U.S.
So how can you get Jublia at an even lower price? First, Valeant offers steep discounts for those first trying Jublia. As of the time of this writing (10/10/15), if you have insurance which covers Jublia, Valeant will reduce your co-pay for either the 4 ml or 8 ml bottles to just $25, or to $75 if the drug is not covered by your drug plan. If you have no insurance, the discounted price is $125 for the 4 ml bottle, or $200 for the 8 ml bottle. You can get 11 refills at this price (but just one refill if your drug plan does not cover Jublia).
Jublia is sold in other countries at much lower prices than in the U.S. In fact, in Canada, Valeant Pharmaceuticals distributes Jublia at prices far lower than those in the U.S. Many Americans get their prescription medications from outside the U.S. to save money and, although this is not technically legal, individuals are not prosecuted for importing small quantities of medication for personal use. Outside the U.S., Jublia is sold in a larger quantity – 6 ml and 12 ml bottles. Currently, you can get a 6 ml bottle for as little as $95 (plus about $10 shipping) from any of any of several PharmacyChecker.com verified international pharmacies which dispense the medication from licensed pharmacies. This international online price is the equivalent of getting 4 ml for about $67 – more than an 80% discount off the standard U.S. price.
Like to know more about this product.
In Korea, it’s expensive – about $45, but in the States they legally rob you for treating your nails.
As an American living abroad, I can say this is worth it, if you can get it at the price I get, but it doesn’t work on all toes. For me, it works on my large toe even though I apply on the smaller ones.
Even though it works on only my large toe, I feel a difference. I will try other treatments for the other toes.
Where in Korea did you get it? Does it require a prescription?
How can I get it from Korea? By mailing?

I’m from Vancouver BC and I just got my prescription for Jublia 10%.
The Pharmacy charged:
Cost $108.75 Cdn Fee $10.60. Patient pays $27.35. (Insurance pays for this except for $27.35 dispensing fee)
Jublia 10% is a 8 ml bottle from Vancouver BC. At $119.35 Total plus $27.45 patient pays dispensing fee.
I’m from Vancouver BC and I just got my prescription for Jublia 10%.
The Pharmacy charged:

I’m also in Vancouver BC and just paid $107.60 + $10 dispensing fee. Jublia is 80% eligible according to my health insurance company, Pacific Blue Cross, yet I just submitted the claim and they only covered $9.95 of the $107.60 drug cost?! The explanation code says “(Drug) Eligible Amount reduced due to eligible dollar pricing rule”. Anyone else encounter this? How did you get your insurance company to pay a reasonable amount of the Jublia cost?
I live in Canada and have been using it for a year (it’s cleared up 3 out of 6 toenails. Just got a refill for the 8 ml bottle of Jublia. the pharmacy price says 100.59, Fee (dispensing I guess?) is 10.00, total should be 110.59 CND. I do have a healthcare plan which covered 88.47, so I only paid 22.12 It’s STILL a ridiculous price, why does the manufacturer charge these ridiculous amounts? Maybe India or China need to start competing on this one.
The price for Jublia is outrageously high. No reason for this type of highway robbery. I thought the president was lowering drug prices? It never happened. If you’re on Medicare you’re not allowed to take discount coupons. Why on earth not? If the government doesn’t have your back, then who does?
