Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Amino acids are the building blocks for protein synthesis in the body. This solution provides essential and non-essential amino acids to maintain nitrogen balance and support tissue repair and growth when oral intake is inadequate.
Travasol 5.5% is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and nonessential amino acids for protein synthesis, maintaining nitrogen balance, and supporting metabolic functions in parenteral nutrition.
Intravenous infusion at 1-1.5 g amino acids/kg/day. Typical adult dose: 500 mL of 7% solution (35 g amino acids) infused over 8-12 hours, repeated daily as per nitrogen requirements.
500 mL of 5.5% amino acid solution intravenously over 2-4 hours daily, titrated to nitrogen balance and metabolic tolerance.

Terminal elimination half-life for the constituent amino acids ranges from 0.5 to 4 hours, depending on the specific amino acid and metabolic state. Clinically, infusion rate should be adjusted to avoid accumulation in renal impairment.
Not applicable as individual amino acids have variable half-lives (minutes to hours). TRAVASOL is a mixture; the clinical context is continuous infusion to maintain plasma levels.
Primarily renal. Amino acids are deaminated, and nitrogen is excreted as urea in urine. Biliary/fecal excretion is negligible. Almost 100% of infused amino acids are either metabolized or excreted as urea and other nitrogenous wastes.
Amino acids in TRAVASOL 5.5% are metabolized and nitrogen waste is excreted primarily via renal elimination (as urea, >90% of nitrogen). Fecal elimination is negligible (<2%).
