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

Boceprevir is bow-seh-preh-veer

by AKHepper, Jul 13, 2009 12:57AM

accent on the 'ah'?

by GreatBird, Jul 13, 2009 01:13AM

Yes, I think so.

by Tippyclubb, Jul 13, 2009 08:27AM

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.

To: all

The last syllable 'vir' is for virus.

To: ak

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
