AMINOSYN 3.5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 3.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminosin 3.5% is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, maintaining nitrogen balance, and supporting tissue repair and growth in patients unable to tolerate oral/enteral nutrition.
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.
Intravenous infusion of 500 mL to 1 L daily, providing 3.5% amino acids (31.5 g protein per liter). Administer at a rate not exceeding 100 mL/hour initially, adjusted based on metabolic tolerance.
Intravenous: 500 mL to 2 L per day as part of total parenteral nutrition; infusion rate adjusted to meet nutritional requirements and clinical status.

The terminal elimination half-life of infused amino acids is approximately 18-24 minutes, reflecting rapid clearance from plasma into tissues for protein synthesis.
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.
Amino acids are metabolized to urea and carbon dioxide; urea is excreted renally (90%) and to a lesser extent via sweat and feces (<10%).
Renal: 100% of infused amino acids and electrolytes are excreted renally as urea and electrolytes, respectively.
