Mechanism of Action

Aminosyn 8.5% is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides a source of nitrogen and essential/non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and maintenance of nitrogen balance. It serves as a substrate for metabolic pathways, including gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis, and supports immune function and enzyme production.

Aminosin II 4.25% in Dextrose 25% provides essential amino acids and dextrose for parenteral nutrition. Amino acids serve as building blocks for protein synthesis, while dextrose supplies a source of calories to prevent catabolism. The combination aims to maintain nitrogen balance and support metabolic functions.

Clinical Dosing

Intravenous infusion: 1.0-1.5 g amino acids/kg/day (11.8-17.6 mL/kg/day of 8.5% solution) via central line; rate not to exceed 0.1 g amino acids/kg/hour.

Administer as a continuous intravenous infusion. Typical adult dose: 1.0-1.5 g amino acids/kg/day (equivalent to approximately 23-35 mL/kg/day of AMINOSYN II 4.25% in DEXTROSE 25%) via central venous line. Adjust based on metabolic needs and tolerance.
