How do you say naltrexone (Vivitrol)? Pronunciation Series Episode 21

Published: Oct. 6, 2023, 4:05 a.m.

Welcome to my drug name pronunciation series!\xa0 In this episode, I divide naltrexone and Vivitrol into syllables, explain which syllables have the emphasis, and reveal the sources of my information.\xa0 The written pronunciations are in the show notes on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast.\xa0

The purpose of my pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names (from reliable sources) so that you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them.\xa0

Naltrexone is a prescription medication used to treat both alcohol use disorder and opioid use disorder.\xa0 It\u2019s available as an oral tablet and an IM injection.

Naltrexone has 3 syllables:\xa0 nal TREX one.\xa0 *Emphasize the 2nd syllable, TREX.

\U0001f4cc Nal, which rhymes with \u201cpal.\u201d

\U0001f4cc TREX, which rhymes with Chex (a breakfast cereal sold in the US)

\U0001f4cc one, as in \u201cI own a motorcycle.\u201d\xa0

Vivitrol also has 3 syllables: VIV i trol.\xa0 *Emphasize the 1st syllable, VIV.

\U0001f535 Viv, as in Vivian (a female first name in the US)

\U0001f535 i, which is the schwa \u2018I\u2019 sound (a short \u201cI\u201d sound), like the \u201cI\u201d in the word, \u201cdecimal.\u201d

\U0001f535 Trol, which rhymes with fall

Where did I find the pronunciations?\xa0 Naltrexone is in the USP Dictionary Online, and Vivitrol was in the medication guide on vivitrol.com. \xa0

I am not compensated for mentioning the USP Dictionary Online, and I have permission to share written pronunciations from their dictionary.\xa0 (Thanks USP Legal Dept!).\xa0 I\u2019m also not compensated for mentioning any of the drugs in my pronunciation episodes. \xa0
