About this episode
As we work our way through the alphabet from A to Z in my drug pronunciation series, we're on the letter "J." I wanted to pick a popular generic drug name that starts with "J" for today's episode. It turns out that the letter "J" should be avoided in naming generic drugs, according to the United States Adopted Names Council. Therefore, there are very few generic drug names that start with the letter "J." Instead, I chose a brand-name drug that starts with "J."

In this episode, I divide warfarin and Jantoven into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciations are below. Practice saying both until you master them. Repetition is the key to mastery. Warfarin = WAR-far-in Emphasize WAR, and slur "far" and "in" together. It should sound like, "fur-in." Sources: The USP Dictionary Online, MedlinePlus, and my 20+ years of experience Jantoven = JAN-to-ven Emphasize JAN. Then, say "tow" (like a tow truck) and "ven" (like eleven) Sources: Medication Guide for Jantoven on DailyMed on the NIH Website Recommend a drug name for this series via email: kim@thepharmacistsvoice.com ??
