AMINOSYN 10% (PH6) vs TRAVASOL 3.5% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminosyn 10% is a parenteral amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, helping to maintain nitrogen balance and support tissue repair and growth in patients unable to receive adequate nutrition enterally.
TRAVASOL 3.5% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES is a parenteral nutrition solution providing amino acids, electrolytes, and calories (as dextrose). Amino acids are used for protein synthesis, and electrolytes maintain acid-base balance and osmotic pressure.
Intravenous infusion: 1 to 1.5 g/kg/day (equivalent to 10 to 15 mL/kg/day of 10% solution) for adult patients with normal nutritional status; adjust based on metabolic needs.
Intravenous infusion of 3.5% amino acid solution at a rate of 1-2 mL/kg/hour, adjusted to meet metabolic needs. Typical adult daily dose: 0.8-1.5 g amino acids/kg/day, equivalent to 23-43 mL/kg/day of TRAVASOL 3.5%.

The terminal elimination half-life of individual amino acids varies (1–4 hours) depending on metabolic demand and renal function. For the amino acid mixture, the effective half-life is approximately 2 hours in patients with normal renal function. This short half-life necessitates continuous or frequent infusion to maintain stable plasma levels.
Not applicable as a fixed half-life; amino acids have rapid plasma clearance (t1/2 of 10-30 minutes for individual amino acids). Clinical context: Continuous infusion maintains steady state.
Amino acids from Aminosyn 10% are primarily utilized for protein synthesis and metabolic processes. Excess nitrogen is eliminated via the kidneys as urea (renal elimination accounts for >90% of nitrogen excretion). Minimal biliary/fecal elimination (<5%) occurs via unabsorbed amino acids in patients with malabsorption. In renal impairment, elimination is reduced.
Renal: >95% of infused amino acids and electrolytes are excreted unchanged or as metabolites. Biliary/fecal: <5%.
