    How do you say liraglutide? (Pronunciation Series Episode 52)
    Apr 4 2025
    As we work our way through the alphabet from A to Z in my drug pronunciation series, we’re on the letter “L.” Disclaimer: we don’t cover pharmacology in this series. Just drug names. In this episode, I’ll divide liraglutide, Victoza, and Saxenda into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. Written pronunciations are helpful, so you’ll find all three below and in the show notes for episode 324 on thepharmacistsvoice.com. Once you’ve listened to this episode, practice saying liraglutide, Victoza, and Saxenda. Repetition is the key to mastery. Thank you for listening to episode 324 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast. The FULL show notes (including all links) are on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast. Select episode 324.

  • How do you say ketamine? (Pronunciation Series Episode 51)

    How do you say ketamine? (Pronunciation Series Episode 51)
    Mar 21 2025
    We continue working our way through the alphabet in my drug pronunciation series. We’re on the letter “K,” and today’s drug is ketamine. In this episode, I divide ketamine into syllables, tell you which syllable to emphasize, and share my sources. Written pronunciations are helpful, so look below for the written pronunciation. Once you’ve listened to this episode, practice saying ketamine. Repetition is the key to mastery. Ketamine = KEH-tuh-meen Keh, like kegTuh, like tugAnd meen, as in, “Bullies are mean!” Emphasize KEH. Sources: My clinical experience as a pharmacist, Google, and m-w.com. I like how Google and M-W divide the syllables and pronounce the drug name. Thank you for listening to episode 322 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast. The FULL show notes (including all links) are on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast. Select episode 322. If you know someone who would like to learn how to say ketamine, please share this episode with them. Subscribe for all future episodes. This podcast is on all major podcast players and YouTube.

Did you know that the United States Adopted Names (USAN) Council advises against using the letter "K" in generic drug names? Some languages struggle with pronouncing “K.” In fact, four letters are generally avoided in naming drugs: H, J, K, and W. While the USAN guideline applies to generic drug names, brand-name drugs also tend to avoid these letters. A Fun Thought Experiment If you’ve ever been told not to do something and immediately wanted to do it, you’re not alone! Just for fun, I combined all four of the "forbidden letters" into a made-up drug name: Jawkherol Sounds like a treatment for TMJ, doesn’t it? Common Mispronunciations to Avoid Some sources—including YouTube videos with thousands of views—incorrectly pronounce ketamine. Here are three examples of how NOT to say it: KET-a-MINket-a-MEENKEET-a-meen Mispronunciations can lead to confusion, especially for non-native English speakers or healthcare professionals giving presentations. That’s why I create these episodes—to combat misinformation and make learning drug names easier. Thanks for listening!
