EPISODE 159: PRONUNCIATION SERIES EPISODE 6, IMLYGIC (TALIMOGENE LAHERPAREPVEC)

Drug Name Pronunciations

Medical narration requires drug name pronunciation skills

Today, we’re talking about IMLYGIC® (talimogene laherparepvec or T-VEC).  In my pronunciation episodes, I say a brand drug name and its generic, break both drug names down into syllables, explain which syllable or syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source(s) of my information, and put the written pronunciations of both in the show notes so that you see them and use them right away.

The purpose of these pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources. I want you to feel confident saying drug names and less frustrated learning them.  

Thank you for listening to episode 159 of The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast!

What is IMLYGIC® (talimogene laherparepvec)?  It’s a treatment for a skin cancer called melanoma.

IMLYGIC® = imm LY jik (I prefer to write it imm LYE jik.)

  • Verbal/audio pronunciation source:  IMLYGIC® Healthcare Provider Video
  • Written pronunciation source:  IMLYGIC® medication guide on the FDA’s website https://www.fda.gov/media/94135/download 

T-VEC = T-VEC

  • Pronunciation sources:  none

talimogene laherparepvec = tal IM oh jeen la HER pa REP vek

  • Verbal/audio pronunciation source:  IMLYGIC® Healthcare Provider Video
  • Written pronunciation source:  USP Dictionary Online

When you can see and hear a drug name pronunciation, it will be easier for you to say.  If you like easy, get both! 

If you can’t access the USP Dictionary Online for a written generic drug name pronunciation, and the drug name wasn’t mentioned verbally in a video published by the drug sponsor, you can also call the drug sponsor’s drug information department, and ask for help (during normal business hours).  Another option is calling the Division of Drug Information at the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research during normal business hours.  Calling either may sound intimidating, but if you’re a voice actor, and you need to get it right, do the right thing.  Use reliable sources; put drug names into your own words; and say them with confidence.  You can do this!

If you are interested in picking a drug name for a future pronunciation episode, please visit www.thepharmacistsvoice.com, and click the contact tab.  Either leave me a voicemail message or type out a written message using the contact form.  I’d love to hear from you!

If you know someone who would like this episode or needs to hear it, please share it with them.  

Thank you for listening to The Pharmacist’s Voice ® Podcast Episode 159!  

Thank you USP Legal Department for permission to use written pronunciations from the USP Dictionary Online in my YouTube videos and podcast show notes.
