We continue working our way through the alphabet in my drug pronunciation series. We're on the letter “K,” and today's drug is ketamine.    In this episode, I divide ketamine into syllables, tell you which syllable to emphasize, and share my sources. Written pronunciations are helpful, so look below for the written pronunciation. Once you've listened to this episode, practice saying ketamine. Repetition is the key to mastery.   Ketamine = KEH-tuh-meen   Keh, like keg Tuh, like tug And meen, as in, “Bullies are mean!”   Emphasize KEH.  Sources: My clinical experience as a pharmacist, Google, and m-w.com. I like how Google and M-W divide the syllables and pronounce the drug name.    Thank you for listening to episode 322 of The Pharmacist's Voice ® Podcast.

Did you know that the United States Adopted Names (USAN) Council advises against using the letter "K" in generic drug names? Some languages struggle with pronouncing “K.” In fact, four letters are generally avoided in naming drugs: H, J, K, and W. While the USAN guideline applies to generic drug names, brand-name drugs also tend to avoid these letters.   A Fun Thought Experiment If you've ever been told not to do something and immediately wanted to do it, you're not alone! Just for fun, I combined all four of the "forbidden letters" into a made-up drug name: Jawkherol Sounds like a treatment for TMJ, doesn't it?   Common Mispronunciations to Avoid Some sources—including YouTube videos with thousands of views—incorrectly pronounce ketamine. Here are three examples of how NOT to say it: KET-a-MIN ket-a-MEEN KEET-a-meen Mispronunciations can lead to confusion, especially for non-native English speakers or healthcare professionals giving presentations. That's why I create these episodes—to combat misinformation and make learning drug names easier.

In this episode of the JACCP Podcast, hosts Robbie Parker and Stuart T. Haines discuss the impact of pharmacogenomics on formulary decision-making with Dr. Jacob Brown and Dr. Larisa Cavallari.

The guests discuss the variability in pharmacogenomic adoption across institutions, barriers such as clinician education, cost, and reimbursement challenges, and the importance of physician-pharmacist collaboration. They also described gene-drug pairs where the evidence is compelling, like clopidogrel, fluoropyrimidines and codeine, demonstrating the value of pharmacogenetic-guided prescribing. Finally, they offer guidance for smaller institutions looking to implement pharmacogenomic strategies, emphasizing a stepwise approach and leveraging available resources.

Welcome to the second in our series of ‘The Aural Apothecary Analyses', where we will be delving a bit deeper into some of the recurring themes from our first series. This week we are joined by Dr Matthew Jones and Angela Carrinton to discuss medicines safety and how we can help clinicians & patients make better decisions. Healthcare professionals rely on guidelines to help them make the right choices. But do they work? Is the way we write and use guidance in practice actually harming patients? And what can we do about it? Join us as we discuss the balance between prescriptive guidance and the flexibility required to navigate complex systems, all while considering the critical role guidelines play in providing assurance and safety in healthcare.Angela will be well known to regular listeners, featuring as a guest in series 1. She is Lead Pharmacist for Medication Safety, Health and Social Care Northern Ireland and a Human Factors enthusiast. Mathew is a senior lecturer in medicines safety, medicines information and pharmaceutics at the University of Bath. He has coordinated the development of the South West Pharmacy Research Network and is the co-author of our discussion paper today - “Exploring the Role of Guidelines in Contributing to Medication Errors” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10954937/ In our discussion we dig into the role of guidelines and their real-world impact on patient care. From the pitfalls of laminating to the importance of user-testing, we explore how the design and writing of guidance can influence outcomes - sometimes with unintended consequences. Do digital systems actually make things better? Are guidelines themselves contributing to errors? And how can human factors expertise improve how clinicians interact with these tools in practice?As well as getting deep into the issue of medicines safety we also ask the important question - why on earth would anyone put mouthwash in a public toilet? Tune in to find out more on this important topic…As with all of our guests, Matthew shares with us his Memory Evoking Medicine, a career anthem and book that has influenced his career or life. Angela has already shared her choices in a previous episode which you can find our more about here where we discuss Medicines Safety in more detail and the World Health Organisations ‘Medicines Safety Challenge'  https://www.theauralapothecary.com/episode-9-angela-carrington-the-world-health-organisations-medicines-safety-challenge/You can listen to the Aural Apothecary playlist here; https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3OsWj4w8sxsvuwR9zMXgn5?si=tiHXrQI7QsGtSQwPyz1KBg You can view the Aural Apothecary Library here;  https://litalist.com/shelf/view-bookcase?publicId=KN6E3OOur website is https://www.theauralapothecary.com/ To get in touch follow us on Twitter and Instagram @auralapothecary or email us at auralapothecarypod@gmail.com .
