How do you pronounce the word suboxone in English?

Answer 1

Sub-ox-own is correct. You could also say it like Suh-box-own or Sa-box-own (same thing, you get the idea).

The majority of people in The United States, will pronounce it as Sub-ox-in (or Suh-box-in, Sa-box-in) but this is incorrect. I don't know how or why this pronunciation caught on, but, almost everyone I have run into says it like that, even though it is incorrect. When I try to correct people on it, they always tell me I'm wrong. I am right though because I've done plenty of research and even checked pronunciation websites to make sure I was right.
