AMINOSYN II 4.25% W/ ELECT AND ADJUSTED PHOSPHATE IN DEXTROSE 10% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminogen (amino acids) provide substrate for protein synthesis; dextrose provides caloric energy; electrolytes maintain acid-base and fluid balance; phosphate is essential for cellular metabolism and buffering.
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.
Intravenous infusion; typical adult dose: 1-1.5 g amino acids/kg/day, with dextrose providing 10% final concentration. Adjusted to meet protein and caloric needs.
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 a terminal elimination half-life of approximately 1.5–2 hours in healthy adults, reflecting rapid metabolic clearance. In renal impairment, half-life may be prolonged due to accumulation of nitrogenous waste.
2–3 hours for infused amino acids; clinical context: rapid clearance in normal renal function, prolonged in renal impairment.
The components of AMINOSYN II (amino acids) and dextrose are primarily metabolized; excess nitrogen is excreted renally as urea. Dextrose is completely oxidized. Electrolytes are excreted mainly renally. Biliary/fecal elimination is negligible for amino acids and dextrose (<2%).
Renal, >95% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal.
