What’s inside your EpiPen® (epinephrine injection) Auto-Injector? You’ve probably heard of epinephrine under it’s non-technical name—adrenaline. When you ride a roller coaster or give a presentation, you may feel your heart beat a little faster, your breath intake increase and a sudden burst of energy. That’s adrenaline at work, a substance your body naturally releases under stress. And the medicine inside EpiPen® and EpiPen Jr® Auto-Injectors happens to be a synthetic version of adrenaline—epinephrine.


Epinephrine vs. Adrenaline? What’s the difference? Nothing. Epinephrine and adrenaline are the same thing. However, the preferred name of the substance inside your EpiPen® or EpiPen Jr® varies by where you live. In Europe, the term “adrenaline” is more common, while, in the United States, the term “epinephrine” is used.
