HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE METOPROLOL?

Series

Today, we’re talking about metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker.  Examples of other beta blockers are atenolol, labetalol, and propranolol. 

I picked metoprolol because it has three different pronunciations.  This is the only drug name I have encountered [so far] in the USP Dictionary Online that has more than one pronunciation.
