Cinonide is a steroid used in the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. The word is spelled as [saɪˈnɒnʌɪd] in IPA phonetic transcription. The "c" is replaced with "s" in the pronunciation, making it start with the sound "sai." The middle "o" is pronounced with a schwa sound, while the letter "i" carries the stress. The last syllable is pronounced with the short "ʌ" sound and the silent "e." Correct spelling is important when it comes to medication, as a mistake in spelling could lead to the wrong treatment being given.
