AMINO ACIDS vs TRAVASOL 3.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Amino acids are building blocks for protein synthesis and serve as precursors for neurotransmitters, hormones, and other nitrogenous compounds. They modulate nitrogen balance and support cellular repair and growth.
TRAVASOL 3.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES is a parenteral nutrition solution providing amino acids (3.5% crystalline amino acids) and electrolytes for protein synthesis and maintenance of electrolyte balance in patients unable to meet nutritional needs enterally. The amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis, while electrolytes support cellular function and acid-base balance.
1-2 g/kg/day as continuous IV infusion or as a component of parenteral nutrition.
Intravenous: 500 mL to 2 L per day as part of total parenteral nutrition; infusion rate adjusted to meet nutritional requirements and clinical status.

Variable; endogenous amino acids: 10–30 min for clearance from plasma; administered doses: distribution half-life ~5–10 min, terminal elimination half-life ~15–30 min, reflecting rapid metabolic utilization and renal reabsorption.
Amino acids: ~5–10 min for free amino acids (rapidly cleared from plasma); electrolytes: not applicable as they are distributed and eliminated via homeostasis; clinical context: infusion requires continuous monitoring due to rapid clearance.
Renal: >95% as amino acids and metabolites, primarily reabsorbed; <5% unchanged. Fecal/biliary: negligible (<1%).
Renal: 100% of infused amino acids and electrolytes are excreted renally as urea and electrolytes, respectively.
