How do you say tirzepatide?  Pronunciation Series Episode 28 Pharmacist's Voice

This is the 28th episode in my drug name pronunciation series.  Today, we’re talking about tirzepatide (Mounjaro® and Zepbound®).  I divide each drug name into syllables, explain which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources.  Seeing the written pronunciations is helpful, so the written pronunciations are below and in the show notes on thepharmacistsvoice.com.
 
tirzepatide = tir ZEP a tide, emphasize ZEP (source:  USP Dictionary Online)
 
Mounjaro = mown-JAHR-OH, emphasize JAHR and OH (source:  medication guide)
 
Zepbound = ZEHP-bownd, emphasize ZEHP (source:  medication guide)
