That’s potent!

I had no idea.

Adrenalin is a trademark for the synthetic or chemically extracted forms of epinephrine, a substance produced by the adrenal glands. (That’s a direct quote from the AP Stylebook, 42nd Edition.)

If you want to simplify matters by avoiding the trademark, use epinephrine hydrochloride or adrenaline instead.

Just goes to show: You learn something new every day.

Happy trails!
