AMINOSYN II 4.25% IN DEXTROSE 25% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 8.5% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
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.
TRAVASOL 8.5% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN PLASTIC CONTAINER is a parenteral nutrition solution that provides a source of amino acids, electrolytes, and calories. The amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis and energy metabolism, replenishing nitrogen balance and supporting tissue repair and growth.
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.
Intravenous infusion. Individualized based on protein and electrolyte requirements. Typical adult dose: 500-2000 mL/day of 8.5% amino acid solution, infused at 60-125 mL/hour.

Amino acids: 0.5-2 hours; dextrose: 1-4 hours in non-diabetic patients; context: reflects rapid uptake and metabolism
Amino acids have short half-lives (minutes to hours) due to rapid metabolism; no single terminal half-life for mixture. Electrolytes have distribution half-lives of minutes.
Renal: >90% as amino acids and metabolites; biliary/fecal: minimal (<2%)
Renal: Amino acids are extensively reabsorbed; excess nitrogen is excreted as urea (renal, majority). Electrolytes are excreted renally with reabsorption regulation. Biliary/fecal: Negligible.
