About this episode
This is the 64th episode in my drug pronunciation series. In this episode, I divide acetaminophen and Tylenol into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciations are below and in the show notes on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com. It's easy to say a drug name correctly when you have the phonetic pronunciation written into your notes/script/on your teleprompter. Try it, and practice. Note: we don't cover pharmacology in this series. Just pronunciations. The FULL show notes are available at https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast.

SEET, like a bike seat a, which is that short "A" sound again (sounds like "uh"). MIN, like minute o, which is a schwa "O" sound, like the "O" in the word "astronaut" (sounds like "uh"). fen, like a fin on a fish Source for the written pronunciation = drugs.com or the USP Dictionary Online Source for the spoken pronunciation = drugs.com (accessed 9-24-25) Tylenol = TY-luh-nall TY, like you tie your shoes luh, like lullaby nall, which rhymes with y'all.
