AMINOSYN II 3.5% M IN DEXTROSE 5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminogen II 3.5% M in Dextrose 5% provides essential and non-essential amino acids and dextrose for parenteral nutrition. Amino acids are utilized for protein synthesis and metabolic processes. Dextrose provides a source of calories and energy.
TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES is a parenteral nutritional solution providing amino acids and electrolytes. Amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis, while electrolytes maintain osmotic balance and support cellular functions. The solution bypasses gastrointestinal absorption, directly entering the bloodstream.
Aminosin II 3.5% M in Dextrose 5% is administered intravenously. Typical adult dose is 1-2 L per day, providing 35-70 g amino acids and 50-100 g dextrose per day, infused at a rate of 0.5-1.5 mL/kg/hour.
Intravenous infusion: 25-40 mL/kg/day (1.5-2.2 g amino acids/kg/day) as total parenteral nutrition; rate adjusted based on metabolic and clinical response.

Amino acids have variable elimination half-lives (e.g., 0.5-6 h) depending on individual amino acid; dextrose half-life ~1-2 h. Clinical context: Used for continuous infusion, not bolus.
2–3 hours for infused amino acids; clinical context: rapid clearance in normal renal function, prolonged in renal impairment.
Amino acids are primarily metabolized, with nitrogen excreted as urea (renal, ~80-90%) and ammonia; minimal fecal excretion. Dextrose is fully metabolized to CO2 and water.
Renal, >95% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal.
