Adrenaline is also considered epinephrine. Epi takes effect immediately. Epi can be given for someone who has coded, or had allergic reaction known as anaphylactic shock.

Epinephrine is a vasodilator so it opens airways in anaphylactic shock, asthma attacks, and increases heart rate. Also causes high BP and one terrific headache and if you are a little kid with asthma and you get an IM injection of this you will end up talking your mom & dad's ear off when you get home from the ER.

I have had adrenaline injected intravenously and the reaction is instant.

You don't give it orally. It is an injectable drug that is used in emergency situation such as cardiac arrest or anaphylactic shock.
