epinephrine
Good to know
  • Although widely referred to as adrenaline outside of the United States and among the lay public worldwide, the United States Approved Name (USAN) and International Nonproprietary Name (INN) for this chemical is epinephrine because adrenaline bears too much similarity to the Parke, Davis & Co trademark adrenalin (without the „e“), which was registered in the United States. The British Approved Name (BAN) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) term for this chemical is adrenaline, and is indeed now one of the few differences between the INN and BAN systems of names.
