AMINOSYN 3.5% W/ DEXTROSE 5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs PREMASOL 10% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminosyn 3.5% w/ Dextrose 5% provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis and dextrose for caloric support, aiding in nitrogen balance and maintenance of lean body mass in parenteral nutrition.
Provides essential amino acids for protein synthesis and maintenance of nitrogen balance.
Intravenous infusion. Adult dose: 500-1000 mL per day, infused at a rate not exceeding 100 mL/hour, adjusted based on metabolic requirements and tolerance.
1-2 g/kg/day intravenously as a continuous infusion or in divided doses; typical starting dose for adults with normal renal function: 1 g/kg/day.

Not applicable as a single entity; amino acids and dextrose are endogenous substances. Metabolic half-life of infused amino acids ~10-30 min; dextrose ~15-20 min. Continuous infusion results in steady state.
The terminal elimination half-life of infused amino acids is approximately 0.5-1 hour for most amino acids, reflecting rapid metabolism and distribution. Clinically, this supports continuous infusion to maintain plasma amino acid levels.
Renal excretion of amino acids and dextrose metabolites (CO2, water). Urea nitrogen accounts for ~80-90% of nitrogen excretion. Unchanged dextrose minimal (<1%). Biliary/fecal excretion negligible.
Amino acids in Premasol 10% are metabolized and the nitrogen is eliminated primarily as urea via renal excretion (80-90%). A small fraction is excreted in feces (5-10%) and as ammonia in urine. Biliary excretion is negligible.
