AMINOSYN II 15% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 5.5% W/O ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Provides essential amino acids for protein synthesis, serving as substrates for nitrogen balance and tissue repair.
TRAVASOL 5.5% W/O ELECTROLYTES is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and nitrogen balance in patients unable to tolerate enteral nutrition. It serves as a substrate for gluconeogenesis and other metabolic processes.
Intravenous infusion: 1.0 to 2.0 g amino acids/kg/day, maximum 125 mL/hour (3 g amino acids/kg/day).
Intravenous infusion, 500 mL to 2000 mL per day as a component of total parenteral nutrition (TPN), providing 5.5% amino acids. Rate should be individualized based on metabolic requirements and tolerance.

Amino acids: rapid clearance, half-life 0.5-2 hours depending on individual and metabolic state. Clinical context: continuous infusion maintains steady state.
Not applicable as a fixed drug; the clearance of infused amino acids follows saturable kinetics with a functional half-life of approximately 30-60 minutes for free amino acids in plasma, reflecting rapid uptake and metabolism. Clinical context: continuous infusion maintains steady-state levels.
Renal: amino acids are filtered and reabsorbed; excess nitrogen is excreted as urea in urine. <5% fecal.
Primarily renal excretion of amino acids and metabolites; approximately 70-80% of infused amino acids are converted to urea and excreted in urine, with the remainder undergoing metabolism or incorporation into body proteins. Biliary/fecal excretion is negligible.
