Proper Pronunciations

[ZippityDooDah]

Because I know you wanted to know, here are the official pronunciations of some GLP-1 names from USAN (United States Adopted Names Council, which is responsible for assigning the nonproprietary names for drugs):

tirzepatide: [tir zep’ a tide] https://searchusan.ama-assn.org/usan/documentDownload?uri=/unstructured/binary/usan/tirzepatide.pdf

semaglutide: [sem" a gloo' tide] https://searchusan.ama-assn.org/usan/documentDownload?uri=/unstructured/binary/usan/semaglutide.pdf

retatrutide: [ret" a troo’ tide] https://searchusan.ama-assn.org/usan/documentDownload?uri=/unstructured/binary/usan/retatrutide-.pdf

cagrilintide: [ka” gri lin’ tide] https://searchusan.ama-assn.org/usa...i=/unstructured/binary/usan/cagrilintide-.pdf

Of course TRI-ZAP-ER-TUDE is the correct way to pronounce tirz.

 

[ZippityDooDah]

Oh, and I almost forgot about this stupid name: https://searchusan.ama-assn.org/usa...i=/unstructured/binary/usan/orforglipron-.pdf

I'll just keep calling it the porn pill.

I'm going to challenge this on no good grounds. When I saw the Lilly CEO pronounce Retatrutide stupid (Re Tat Tru tide) I couldn't imagine how he got there and if that was how they actually wanted us to pronounce it. But it grew on me. I now like saying it that way, and I renounce the correct pronunciation. Am I the only one? Probably.

Sounds like something a fed would say.

Say it 3 times fast... Porn porn porn!

 

[HappyQuokka]

Finally, I can pronounce Cagrilintide correctly!

 

[Garbo]

Am I the only one?

Yes.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

This is a family drug-pusher-research website. Keep it clean.

I've been calling it (Re Tat Tru tide) from day one. I like the way it sounds, I'll keep using it... I have the same approach when ordering Vietnamese cuisine.

Porn pill, orgi pill, or good old gas station dick pills. Just pop a few of each and enjoy the ride.

But I don't want to loose weight there?!

For whatever reason a quick glance and that's what I see.

Also seem to recall the kidz using 'pron' instead of 'porn' to bypass censoring on various platforms in the past.

Same, it just flows more naturally imho. I used to say Rita when abbreviating, but have forced myself to say reta like feta since actually starting on it.

 

[Batscout]

?????

Porn pill?

 

[3Ljeffy]

Porn pill?

At first glance my eyes read Orforglipron and my broke brain said:
"...or fugly pr0n"?
Among stupid names, that's a stupid name.

I just have been living in the UK too long because I automatically pronounced it ret-a-tru-tide.
