AMINOSYN 3.5% M IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 10% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
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.
Travasol 10% (amino acids injection) provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis and nitrogen equilibrium in patients unable to obtain adequate nutrition orally or enterally. Amino acids are building blocks for proteins; they also serve as substrates for gluconeogenesis and other metabolic pathways.
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.
Intravenous infusion: 500 mL to 2 L per day, administered at a rate not exceeding 4 mL/kg/h. Typical adult dose is 1-2 g protein/kg/day (equivalent to 10-20 mL/kg/day of 10% solution). Rate and volume are adjusted based on patient's metabolic needs and clinical status.

Variable (minutes to hours) due to rapid metabolic utilization; terminal half-life in plasma is <10 minutes for most amino acids.
Not applicable as a single entity; constituent amino acids have half-lives varying from minutes to hours (e.g., 10-30 min for most). Clinical context: continuous infusion maintains steady state.
Renal: >90% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal elimination.
Renal excretion of infused amino acids and their metabolites; excess nitrogen excreted as urea in urine. ~90-95% of infused amino acids are utilized or excreted renally. Fecal excretion negligible.
