Pronunciation Series Episode 6, IMLYGIC (talimogene laherparepvec)
Today, we\u2019re talking about IMLYGIC\xae (talimogene laherparepvec or T-VEC).\xa0 In my pronunciation episodes, I say a brand drug name and its generic, break both drug names down into syllables, explain which syllable or syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source(s) of my information, and put the written pronunciations of both in the show notes so that you see them and use them right away.
The purpose of these pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources. I want you to feel confident saying drug names and less frustrated learning them. \xa0

If you can\u2019t access the USP Dictionary Online for a written generic drug name pronunciation, and the drug name wasn\u2019t mentioned verbally in a video published by the drug sponsor, you can also call the drug sponsor\u2019s drug information department, and ask for help (during normal business hours).\xa0 Another option is calling the Division of Drug Information at the FDA\u2019s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research during normal business hours.\xa0 Calling either may sound intimidating, but if you\u2019re a voice actor, and you need to get it right, do the right thing.\xa0 Use reliable sources; put drug names into your own words; and say them with confidence.\xa0 You can do this!
When you can see and hear a drug name pronunciation, it will be easier for you to say.\xa0 If you like easy, get both!\xa0
