About this episode
This is the 69th episode in my drug pronunciation series. In this episode, I divide Kisunla and donanemab-azbt 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. Special thanks to Megan Hull, PharmD for inspiring me to pick Kisunla for this series. She mentioned it during the CE session she led at the Midyear Meeting of the Ohio Pharmacists Association in Nov 2025. Note: we don't cover pharmacology in this series.
