Website that vocalizes drug names?

I seem to remember someone mentioning a website that would say the names of drugs so that you could make sure you had the right pronunciation.

Does anybody know where I can find it? If not, do you guys know the correct way to say these: Pentoxifylline and Cilostazol (and no, I can't just use the easy brand names! )

Lexi-Drugs online pronounces the names but subscription required

Pentoxifylline = Pen-Tox-If-A-Lyn

Cilostazol- Sa-las-ta-zol

They only do that for the generic name and not the brand name though. Plus for a few of them I think they're just making sounds up.

Someone told me that it should be pronounced like this:

pen-toxif-eye-leen (as in, it ends like the name Eileen)

So, should be pronounced similar to Theophylline instead? That seems to make more sense.

might be where the fylline comes from.

I actually don't say either one... I've never heard anybody say the word until today when I asked a preceptor how it was pronounced.

I wouldn't care at all, but I have to do a presentation comparing the two drugs and I figured it would be nice if I at least new how to pronounce them properly.

It's nice to be known for something...this is your chance! 😎

Is that how they say them, or how you say them? Because that's one weird accent rite thar.

I once had a nurse insist a patient was on a drug spelled P-E-T-A-L. We never use brand names in the first place, so it confused the hell out of me.
