This is the 70th episode in my drug pronunciation series. In this episode, I divide Corlanor and ivabradine into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciations are below and in the show notes on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com.
Note: we don’t cover pharmacology in this series. Just pronunciations.

Corlanor = core-lan-ore
- Core, like an apple core (also, Cor in Latin translates to “heart” in English)
- lan, like lanai – a type of porch commonly associated with the state of Hawaii
- ore, as in iron ore comes from Michigan
- No syllable is emphasized in the literature, so give all three syllables equal emphasis. My two cents: when I say Corlanor, I emphasize the first syllable, “Core.”
- Written pronunciation source: medication guide for Corlanor on Amgen’s website.
- Spoken pronunciation examples: drugs.com and cardiologist Dr. Tara Narula says it on YouTube.
ivabradine = eye-VAB-ra-deen
- eye, as in Eye of the Tiger (a famous song) https://bit.ly/49cTTRL
- VAB, which rhymes with “fab,” (like the word, fabulous)
- ra, like rough – as in sandpaper feels rough
- deen, like the Dean of a college of pharmacy
- Written pronunciation sources: USP dictionary online, MedlinePlus.gov, and drugs.com.
- Spoken pronunciation example: drugs.com
