How Can Fungal Infection On The Toe Nail Be Treated?

I have a prescription for Jublia and have been using it for about 6 wks. It seems to have stopped the toenail fungus, but I don t want to assume that it is stopped in it s entirety, so do i continue using it until the entire nail has grown off or perhaps just use it at the base of the nail indefinitely?
