The only way I can remember to spell it is that the vowels are in alphabetical order.  

Only your accounting head would catch that. I'd like to have a look at your spice rack. Calm down. I said *spice* rack.

It's pronounced (in-SEE-veck).  Not at all like it's spelled.

I have heard...

te lep pre ver  , with an accent on lep... long short, long short

usually you can google "_____________ pronuncitation" and get plenty of help.

this is good too, but they did not have teleprevir:

Pretend you are Spanish speaking, or German, French, Italian, Swedish .... and then pronounce it that way.

lol... anyway, we would say that it is pronounced how you spell it, but that doesn't work for the English language
