How do you say Humira® and adalimumab?  Unfortunately, you can’t sound out drug names.  They’re not pronounced the way they look. 👀

Humira® is one of the top 200 drugs in the US.  It’s a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker.  Humira® is the brand name, and adalimumab is the generic (non-proprietary) name.  

In my pronunciation episodes, I break drug names down into syllables, explain which syllable(s) have the emphasis, reveal the source of the information, and put the written pronunciations in the show notes so that you see them and use them right away.

The purpose of these pronunciation episodes is to provide the intended pronunciations of drug names from reliable sources so that you feel more confident saying them and less frustrated learning them.  I hope this episode helps you! 🥳

This episode has a YouTube video, which shows the written pronunciations of Humira® and adalimumab.
