Jublia does have an approved generic drug called efinaconazole, but it isn’t currently available on the market. A generic contains an exact copy of the active drug in a brand-name medication. A generic is considered just as safe and effective as the original drug but tends to cost less.

Why is there such a cost difference between brand-name drugs and generics?

Years of research and testing are needed to ensure that brand-name drugs are safe and effective. This testing can make the drugs expensive. The manufacturer of a brand-name drug can sell the drug exclusively for up to 20 years. After that, other drugmakers can create generic versions. This competition in the market can lead to lower costs for generics. And because generics have the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs, they don’t need to be studied again. This can also lead to lower generic costs.

If you take Jublia long term, you may be able to lower your costs by getting a 90-day supply of your medication. A 90-day supply of Jublia could reduce your number of trips to the pharmacy and help lower the cost of Jublia. If you’re interested in getting a 90-day supply of this drug, talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.
