What, if any, is the relationship between norepinephrine and noradrenaline?

Hi, Klavot,
They're different names for the same thing, from what I understand. You can learn more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norepinephrine.
Norepinephrine (INN) is the official generic name for the subtance according to the World Health Organization.
Noradrenaline (BAN) is the offical generic name according to the British Pharmacopaeia (sp), and used more typically in British Commonwealth Countries.
Hope this helps.
Why do you ask?

>Thanks Honeybee, Saturn. I'm just curious because I sometimes hear the terms used synonymously.

So what would a drug that increases norepinephrine be called? Noradrenergic? I heard a psychiatrist on radio refer to Effexor as "serotonergic and noradrenergic".
