AMINOSYN 3.5% M IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs AMINOSYN 7% (PH6)
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminosyn 3.5% M is a mixture of essential and non-essential amino acids used for parenteral nutrition. It provides substrates for protein synthesis, thereby maintaining nitrogen balance and supporting tissue repair and growth.
Amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis and metabolic processes, providing essential and non-essential amino acids for tissue repair and maintenance.
Intravenous infusion: 500 mL to 1 L of 3.5% amino acid solution per day for adults; rate not to exceed 0.1 g amino acids/kg/hr.
AminoSyn 7% (pH 6) is administered intravenously as a component of parenteral nutrition. The typical adult dose is 1.0-1.5 g amino acids/kg/day, infused at a rate not exceeding 0.1 g amino acids/kg/hour. The infusion rate and volume are determined by the patient's metabolic needs, clinical status, and concurrent dextrose and lipid administration.

Variable (minutes to hours) due to rapid metabolic utilization; terminal half-life in plasma is <10 minutes for most amino acids.
The elimination half-life of individual amino acids varies, typically 0.5-2 hours for most, reflecting rapid incorporation into metabolic pools. For total amino acid mixture, functional half-life is approximately 1-2 hours in patients with normal hepatic and renal function.
Renal: >90% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal elimination.
Amino acids in Aminosyn 7% (pH6) are primarily metabolized; excess nitrogen is excreted renally as urea. Approximately 80-90% of infused amino acids are utilized for protein synthesis or metabolized; remaining nitrogen is eliminated as urea via kidneys. Biliary and fecal elimination are negligible.
