I was under the impression that what we (as in most European countries) call adrenaline was the same as epinephrine, you guys (North Americans) just use a different name for some reason.

They also use the imperial system for some reason.

But no, Epinephrine totally is a term we use. I worked in a hospital saw it on boxes and out of peoples mouths some time. They mostly referred to it as Adrenaline though, it's just the more common term I'd guess. Or maybe Epinephrine is a special variant. How'd I know, I didn't study that shit.

It's awesome that we have the internet, and I can find out that North Americans call adrenaline "epinephrine" is because adrenaline is too similar a word to the registered non-generic drug "adrenalin" without leaving my bed.

Remember kids, leaving it at "I don't know" is for lazy s and creation scientists.

We call it whatever we feel like calling it at the time but, IIRC, in the US they call it epinephrine because of some trademark on the word adrenalin(e?) or something like that.
