|
|
Need some benadryl, and dug up an old post that mentioned that this is what it was called here. Is that "C" pronounced as an "S" and the "ZINE" have the long "I" sound? Might sound like a silly question, but I have enough problems getting things here without screwing up the pronounciation myself.
Thanks! |

Yes it is with an S and the long I.
In Korean it is pronounced "set-uh-ree-zeen"
Good luck  |

Cetrizine is just the generic name for it, so it's pretty well known as that (at least by pharmacists) all over the world. The last time I tried to buy it though they said it was cold medication and wouldn't sell it to me for an allergic reaction. (If you're worried about the pronunciation, bring in a paper with it written in English. They should be able to figure it out by either that or the brand name.) |

| Well I need it for a cold so shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for the clarification on the pronounciation. |

| Just write it down on a piece of paper. All pharmacists know the original drug names in English, although they don't necessarily know the original pronunciation. |

| Get some shipped from home. I've found that all the stuff here makes me too drowsy. Even when I've asked the pharmacist for non-drowsy tablets (Are you sure? Yes-uh!) I still end up dragging my arse around the day after I take it. The stuff here is useless and its peddlers clueless. |
