How do you say celecoxib? (Pronunciation Series Episode 77)

Drug Name Pronunciations, Series

This is the 77th episode in my drug pronunciation series. In this episode, I divide celecoxib into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and list my sources.

We cover pronunciations, not pharmacology. If you want to feel less frustrated learning drug names and sound more confident saying them, follow this series.

Celecoxib = SEL-e-KOX-ib

  • Sell, as in pharmacies sell prescriptions
  • e (eh), which is a short “E” sound, like the “E” in the middle of the word elephant
  • KOX, which rhymes with socks. KOX is also an abbreviation cyclooxygenase.
  • ib like rib 
  • Emphasize SEL and KOX. KOX gets the most emphasis.
  • Written pronunciation examples: USP Dictionary Online, medlineplus.gov, and drugs.com
  • Spoken pronunciation examples: drugs.com, m-w.com, and Tony PharmD on YouTube
