I've heard it pronounced tell-ah-preh-veer.

Boceprevir is bow-seh-preh-veer

te-lap-pre-veer is how I say it because thats how the nurse says it.

Yes, you spelled it correctly.  Its a mouthful to say. and a handful to take it.

The only way I can remember to spell it is that the vowels are in alphabetical order.  LOL - why do they have to have these complicated names anyway.

Pretend you are Spanish speaking, or German, French, Italian, Swedish .... and then pronounce it that way.

lol... anyway, we would say that it is pronounced how you spell it, but that doesn't work for the English language

I have heard...

te lep pre ver  , with an accent on lep... long short, long short

usually you can google "_____________ pronuncitation" and get plenty of help.

this is good too, but they did not have teleprevir:

It's pronounced (in-SEE-veck).  Not at all like it's spelled.

Only your accounting head would catch that. I'd like to have a look at your spice rack. Calm down. I said *spice* rack.
