How do you say mifepristone and misoprostol? Pronunciation Series Episode 16

This is one of my drug name pronunciation episodes.  We have 2 drug names today: mifepristone and misoprostol.  How do these pronunciation episodes work?   I break drug names down into syllables Explain which syllable(s) have the emphasis Reveal the source of the information Put the written pronunciations in the show notes on thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast so that you can use them right away. Purpose: to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so that you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them. Mifepristone = MIF e PRIS tone MIF, which rhymes with cliff (This syllable gets the secondary emphasis.) e, which sounds either like a short "e" sound or the schwa "e" sound.   PRIS, like pristine (This syllable gets the primary/most emphasis.) tone, like muscle tone Misoprostol = MYE soe PROS tol MYE as in, "My name is Kim." (This syllable gets the secondary emphasis.) Soe, like a needle a needle pulling thread (sew).  If you say this syllable quickly, it sounds like the "Su," in "Supper." PROS, like prostate (This syllable gets the primary/most emphasis.)  tol, like Toledo, OH How did I know how to say mifepristone and misoprostol?   Both are generic drug names in the USP Dictionary Online, which is a subscription-based online reference.  It is my favorite reference for generic (non-proprietary) drug names.  Thank you USP Legal Dept for permission to use your written, non-proprietary drug name pronunciations in my podcast episodes and YouTube videos.   Thank you for listening to episode 215 of The Pharmacist's Voice ® Podcast!
