使用心得：

　　當前台灣的藥名發音其實各有不同，就我所知有某些醫院會開立相關的 PGY 課程訓練初入職場的新人，讓他們學會藥名怎麼念。而在台灣的藥學生或醫學生，除了我知道台大會教之外，就我讀過的兩間大學來說，各有半美式、英式、日式，以及混種的台式發音。造成日後在實習時或是在職場上的笑料頻傳。

　　然而，在藥名發音方面，雖然目前我已經有買 Lexi-comp 出版的 Drug Information Handbook，以及網路上找到的 Merk 發音網站等，都有某些可供參照的發音方式，但也各有缺點，前者只給音標及重音節，通常自己也不知道念的對不對；後者的品項則是太少，尤其對某些新藥更是匱乏。也因此，Drug Pronunciations 的出現，有如快譯通一般的能力，讓我對藥名英文發音產生了興趣。
