AMINOSYN-HBC 7% vs TRAVASOL 2.75% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 20% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminosyn-HBC 7% is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, supporting anabolism and tissue repair in patients with high metabolic stress.
Travasol 2.75% with electrolytes in dextrose 20% provides amino acids for protein synthesis, dextrose as a caloric source, and electrolytes for maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance. Dextrose stimulates insulin release, promoting cellular uptake of glucose and amino acids, while electrolytes help maintain osmolality and acid-base balance.
Intravenous infusion; typical adult dose: 1.0-1.5 g/kg/day of amino acids, administered as a continuous infusion over 12-24 hours.
Intravenous infusion: Typical adult dose is 1-2 L/day of TRAVASOL 2.75% with 20% dextrose, administered as continuous infusion via central line. Rate should be adjusted based on metabolic and fluid needs.

Not applicable; amino acids are continuously metabolized and recycled. For individual amino acids, terminal half-life ranges from minutes to hours depending on metabolic demand.
Not applicable; TRAVASOL is a mixture of dextrose, electrolytes, and amino acids with no defined terminal elimination half-life as individual components are metabolized or excreted rapidly.
Renal: >90% as amino acids and metabolites; minimal biliary/fecal elimination.
Renal: 100% as free water, electrolytes, and dextrose metabolites; no biliary or fecal elimination.
