THE NAME "EPINEPHRIN" VERSUS THE NAME "ADRENALIN"

THE NAME "EPINEPHRIN" VERSUS THE NAME "ADRENALIN" There are thirty or more different brands of the blood-pressure-raising principle of the suprarenal gland on the market, five being in this country alone. These products are identical so far as their chief constituent is concerned; they differ, however as to the solvent and the preservative used. The processes of manufacture of some of them are patented; all of them are sold under trade names. Until two years ago there was no common name applicable to this active principle; whenever reference was made to it a trade name had to be used. At that time the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry, realizing the need of a generic term, adopted "epinephrin" as such a term. This name was selected in part because Abel had adopted it in 1899; in part because, so far as could be discovered, it was the name under which, through Abel's publications, the substance first appeared in http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
