As we work our way through the alphabet from A to Z in my drug pronunciation series, we’re on the letter “I.” If you struggle with drug names, you’re not alone. When I was in college, I said ipratropium wrong, so ipratropium is the drug name today.

In this episode, I divide ipratropium into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciation is below. Practice saying ipratropium until you master it.
Ipratropium = IP ra TROE pee um
- Emphasize IP and TROE. TROE gets the most emphasis.
