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?
