A norepinephrine releasing agent , also known as an adrenergic releasing agent, is a catecholaminergic type of drug that induces the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine from the pre-synaptic neuron into the synapse. This in turn leads to increased extracellular concentrations of norepinephrine and epinephrine therefore an increase in adrenergic neurotransmission.
A closely related type of drug is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Another class of drugs that stimulates adrenergic activity is the adrenergic receptor agonist class.
