How do you say empagliflozin? (Pronunciation Series Episode 45)

Welcome to the 45th episode of my drug pronunciation series! As we continue through the alphabet from A-Z, we’re on the letter “E” for empagliflozin. Also check out episode 228 for ezetimibe and episode 134 for eszopiclone.

 

In this episode, I break down empagliflozin and Jardiance into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources.  

 

The written pronunciations are helpful. They are below 👇🏻 and in the show notes for episode 309 on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/. Pro Tip! Practice saying both drug names while you look at the written pronunciations. Looking at the written pronunciation with the syllables divided correctly helps. Practice leads to mastery.
