\xa0
sildenafil = sil DEN a fil, emphasize DEN
\xa0

\xa0
Cialis = see-AL-iss, emphasize AL

All three brand-name drugs have written pronunciations in their package inserts.\xa0 See section 17:\xa0 patient information.\xa0 The following links are from the FDA\u2019s website, accessed 2-1-24.

The written pronunciations for tadalafil and vardenafil are in the USP Dictionary Online.\xa0 Sildenafil was not in the USP Dictionary.\xa0 For the pronunciation of sildenafil, I relied on my experience as a pharmacist and the similarities between sildenafil and vardenafil.\xa0 Thank you USP Legal Dept for permission to share your written pronunciations in my show notes and YouTube videos!
