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.
Host Background: Kim Newlove has been an Ohio pharmacist since 2001 (BS Pharm, Chem Minor). Her experience includes hospital, retail, compounding, and behavioral health. She is also an author, voice actor, podcast host, and audio production and podcasting consultant.
Dapagliflozin = DAP a gli FLOE zin
- Emphasize DAP and FLOE. FLOE gets the most emphasis.
- Sources: USP Dictionary Online and MedlinePlus
Farxiga = far-see-guh
- No syllable is emphasized per AstraZeneca Medical Information, but I tend emphasize “see.”
- Sources: AstraZeneca Medical Information Dept. and https://www.farxiga.com
- See also the Medication Guide for Farxiga. The written pronunciation is included.
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.
