In this episode, I divide metformin and Glucophage into syllables, explain which syllables have the emphasis, and cite the sources of my information. The written pronunciations are in the show notes on thepharmacistsvoice.com so that you see them and use them right away.
The purpose of my pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them.
Metformin = met FOR min. Emphasize FOR.
I found the written pronunciation of metformin in the USP Dictionary Online.
Glucophage = gloo-kō-fahzh. Emphasize “gloo” and “fahzh”
I found the pronunciation of Glucophage in two places:
- Printed: Package Insert (FDA’s website)
- Spoken: BMS Medical Information Dept. 1-800-321-1335
If you know someone who needs to learn how to say #metformin or #Glucophage, please share this episode with them.
