AMINOSYN 8.5% (PH6) vs PREMASOL 6% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminosyn 8.5% (pH 6) provides a mixture of essential and nonessential amino acids for protein synthesis and nitrogen balance maintenance in patients unable to tolerate oral or enteral nutrition.
Intravenous amino acid solution providing essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, nitrogen balance, and maintenance of lean body mass. Amino acids are actively transported into cells and incorporated into proteins; also serves as a caloric source.
1-1.5 g amino acids/kg/day intravenously, typically 500 mL of a 8.5% solution (42.5 g amino acids) infused over 8-24 hours.
Intravenous infusion: 1 to 1.5 g/kg/day (amino acids) as part of total parenteral nutrition; typically 500 mL to 1000 mL per day, infused over 12-24 hours.

Not applicable as a fixed value; elimination half-life of individual amino acids varies (minutes to hours) and is dependent on metabolic demand and renal function.
Amino acids have rapid plasma clearance; elimination half-life varies from minutes to hours depending on individual amino acid; clinically, infused amino acids are cleared within 2-4 hours after infusion cessation.
Primarily renal; elimination depends on metabolic utilization. Unused amino acids are deaminated and excreted as urea in urine (over 90%). Fecal elimination is negligible.
Renal elimination of amino acids and metabolites; complete metabolism with nitrogen excretion as urea in urine; minimal biliary/fecal excretion.
