Peer-Reviewed Evidence
Head-to-head clinical analysis: AMINOSYN 3 5 M IN PLASTIC CONTAINER versus TRAVASOL 8 5 SULFITE FREE W ELECTROLYTES IN PLASTIC CONTAINER.
AMINOSYN 3.5% M IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 8.5% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES 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 8.5% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN PLASTIC CONTAINER is a parenteral nutrition solution that provides a source of amino acids, electrolytes, and calories. The amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis and energy metabolism, replenishing nitrogen balance and supporting tissue repair and growth.
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. Individualized based on protein and electrolyte requirements. Typical adult dose: 500-2000 mL/day of 8.5% amino acid solution, infused at 60-125 mL/hour.

Variable (minutes to hours) due to rapid metabolic utilization; terminal half-life in plasma is <10 minutes for most amino acids.
Amino acids have short half-lives (minutes to hours) due to rapid metabolism; no single terminal half-life for mixture. Electrolytes have distribution half-lives of minutes.
Renal: >90% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal elimination.
Renal: Amino acids are extensively reabsorbed; excess nitrogen is excreted as urea (renal, majority). Electrolytes are excreted renally with reabsorption regulation. Biliary/fecal: Negligible.
