How do you say cetirizine? (Pronunciation Series Episode 43)
Manage episode 450277932 series 3559105
Welcome to the 43rd episode in my drug pronunciation series. In this episode, I break down cetirizine and Zyrtec 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 304 on thepharmacistsvoice.com. Practice leads to mastery. Practice saying these 2 drug names.
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, and podcast host (2 shows).
Cetirizine = se TIR i zeen
- Emphasize TIR
- Sources: USP Dictionary Online
Zyrtec = ZUR-tek
- No syllable is emphasized in the literature, but I stress the first syllable, ZUR
- Source: Zyrtec’s YouTube channel (Direct-to-Consumer videos from the drug sponsor)
- Note: I was trained in pharmacy school to say “ZEER-tek,” not ZUR-tek. I only say ZUR-tek now because the drug sponsor intended it to be said that way. When I heard the drug sponsor’s pronunciation in ads, I was surprised to learn I had been mispronouncing it for 20+ years.
