I\u2019m publishing one podcast episode per month on the topic of drug name pronunciations.\xa0 This new series started in February 2022.\xa0 It is May 2022 now, so this is the fourth episode in the pronunciation series.\xa0 If you missed the first three episodes, you\u2019ll still understand this one.\xa0 Links to the first three are in the show notes (Ep 134, 138, and 142).

In my pronunciation episodes, I say a drug name, break it down into syllables, explain which syllable or syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source of the information, and put the written pronunciation in the show notes so that you see it and and use it right away.

In this episode, my colleague Dr. Jennifer Marquez picked the drug names!\xa0 If YOU would like to recommend a drug name for a future pronunciation episode and be featured on The Pharmacist\u2019s Voice Podcast, please use the contact form or voicemail button on my website https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/#contact.

Besponsa\xae = beh-SPON-suh
Places I was unable to find the written pronunciation (phonetic spelling) of Besponsa\xae.
I always look for something official from the drug sponsor to make sure I get the right INTENDED pronunciation.\xa0 Since I couldn\u2019t find anything online, I contacted Pfizer\u2019s Media Relations Department.\xa0 It worked!\xa0 Thank you Pfizer Media Relations for providing the phonetic spelling!\xa0
inotuzumab = IN oh TOOZ ue mab
ozogamicin = OH zoe ga MYE sin
Inotuzumab ozogamicin pronunciation source = USP Dictionary Online (USAN).\xa0 Thank you USP Legal for permission to share!
One of the trickiest things about pronouncing drug names is the vowels.
\xa0
The purpose of these pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations from reliable sources. I want you to feel confident saying drug names and less frustrated learning them.\xa0 I hope these pronunciation episodes help!\xa0
