  • How do you say rosuvastatin? (Pronunciation Series Episode 58)

    How do you say rosuvastatin? (Pronunciation Series Episode 58)
    Jul 4 2025
    In this episode, I divide rosuvastatin (generic name), Crestor (brand name), and Ezallor (Sprinkle Capsule, brand name) into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, share my sources. As a bonus, I also confess to my favorite mispronunciation of rosuvastatin. The written pronunciations are below and in the show notes on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast. 💡Note: we don’t cover pharmacology in this series. Just pronunciations. Rosuvastatin = roe-SOO-va-STAT-in. Roe, like you row a boatSoo, like the the nickname for Susan (Sue)Va, like the back half the drug company, TevaStat, as in “I need that right away!”In, like I put the pills in the bottle.Emphasize SOO and STAT. STAT gets the most emphasis.Sources — Written https://medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a603033.html, Spoken: https://www.drugs.com/rosuvastatin.html (Use the “click and listen” feature.)Confession: I tend to say ruh-SOO-va-STAT-in instead of roe-SOO-va-STAT-in. (The first syllable sounds like “ruh” instead of “roe.”) Crestor = Kres-tor Kres, like the top of a wave (a crest)tor, like a torrential downpour of rainIn the literature, neither syllable is emphasized. Emphasize both syllables equally.Sources — written: Crestor’s Prescribing Information (Patient Counseling Section, Section 17) https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2023/021366s043s044lbl.pdf. Spoken: use the “click and listen” feature on drugs.com. https://www.drugs.com/crestor.html Ezallor = Ez-Aah-Lor Note: Full name is Ezallor Sprinkle Capsules, but we only cover Ezallor in this episode.Ez, like the name EzraAah, like a short “A” sound or a schwa “A” sound. “Uh”And Lor, as in folklore As with Crestor, no syllable is emphasized. Emphasize all three syllables equally.Sources — written: prescribing information for Ezallor (Patient Counseling Section, Section 17) https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2020/208647s002lbl.pdf.
