Welcome to the 44th episode of my drug pronunciation series. As we go through the alphabet from A-Z, we’re on the letter “D” for dapagliflozin.
In this episode, I break down dapagliflozin (generic name) and Farxiga (brand name) into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciations are helpful. Find them below👇🏻 and in the show notes for episode 307 on thepharmacistsvoice.com.

Dapagliflozin = DAP a gli FLOE zin
- Emphasize DAP and FLOE. FLOE gets the most emphasis.

Farxiga = far-see-guh
- No syllable is emphasized per AstraZeneca Medical Information, but I tend emphasize “see.”

Practice saying both 2 drug names while you look at the written pronunciations. Looking at the written pronunciation with the syllables divided correctly helps. Practice leads to mastery.
