How to Pronounce Iloprost

Iloprost is pronounced IL-oh-prost. Break it into three syllables: IL (rhymes with "ill"), oh (like the letter O), and prost (rhymes with "toast"). The first syllable, IL, gets the strongest stress, so say it louder and longer than the other parts.

The first syllable, IL, is the stressed syllable. You emphasize IL-oh-prost, not il-OH-prost or il-oh-PROST. Many people accidentally stress the wrong syllable, but remembering that the first part gets the emphasis will help you say it correctly.

People sometimes say ih-LOH-prost (stressing the middle syllable) or EYE-low-prost (changing the first vowel sound). The correct way is IL-oh-prost, with a short "i" sound like in "ill" and the stress on that first syllable.
