Welcome to the 18th episode in my drug name pronunciation series! We’re talking about ezetimibe today. In the first 4 minutes, I break ezetimibe down into syllables, explain which syllable has the emphasis, and reveal the source of the information.
The last 4 minutes is a bonus. My husband (Nathan) guest appears to say some drug names from this series. Why? To share a fun memory! When I was in pharmacy school, Nathan made me laugh/distracted me from the stress of studying by saying drug names and medical terms badly. It worked! I laughed a lot, thanks to Nathan. During this episode, Nathan shows that he can still make me laugh!

Ezetimibe has four syllables.
ezetimibe = e ZET i mibe
e, which is a short “E” sound, like the “E” in “bed.” This sounds like a schwa “E.” (Like the second “E” in the word “elephant.”)
ZET, which rhymes with “pet”
I, as in “illusion” (short “I” sound, almost like a schwa “I.” Think of the “I” in the word “president.”)
mibe, which rhymes with “vibe” (“I” has the long “I” sound, like “ice cream” or “eyeball.”)
I found the pronunciation of ezetimibe in the USP Dictionary Online. The pronunciation guide is especially important for the last syllable in ezetimibe. Thank you to the USP Legal Dept for permission to publish your written pronunciations in my podcast show notes!
