AMINOSYN II 3.5% M IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs AMINOSYN II 7%
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminosyn II 3.5% M is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis and nitrogen balance maintenance in patients unable to tolerate oral/enteral nutrition. The 'M' formulation includes electrolytes and trace elements. Amino acids are incorporated into endogenous proteins, serving as substrates for gluconeogenesis, oxidative metabolism, and neurotransmitter synthesis.
Aminosyn II 7% is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and maintenance of nitrogen balance. It acts as a substrate for protein synthesis and supports metabolic functions in patients unable to tolerate oral or enteral nutrition.
Intravenous administration; typical adult dose is 1 to 2 g amino acids/kg/day, corresponding to 30 to 60 mL/kg/day of 3.5% solution; infusion rate not to exceed 0.1 g amino acids/kg/hour.
Intravenous infusion; typical adult dose: 0.8-1.5 g amino acids/kg/day (11.4-21.4 mL/kg/day of 7% solution); rate not exceeding 0.1 g amino acids/kg/hour.

Variable; amino acids have short plasma half-lives (minutes to hours) due to rapid cellular uptake and metabolism; no meaningful terminal half-life for the mixture.
Not applicable; exogenous amino acids are rapidly cleared from plasma with a terminal half-life of 15-20 minutes for individual amino acids.
100% renal; amino acids are deaminated and metabolized to urea, which is excreted renally; minimal (<1%) biliary/fecal excretion.
Renal as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal.
