AMINOSYN II 5% IN DEXTROSE 25% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis and nitrogen balance; dextrose provides caloric energy. Dextrose stimulates insulin release, promoting cellular uptake of amino acids.
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 administration based on protein requirements: 1.0-2.0 g/kg/day amino acids, corresponding to 20-40 mL/kg/day of AMINOSYN II 5% in DEXTROSE 25%. Typical adult dose starts at 30-40 mL/hour, titrated to metabolic goals.
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.

Not applicable as a single entity; amino acids have rapid plasma clearance (t1/2 of minutes to hours) and dextrose is rapidly cleared (t1/2 ~1-2 hours). Clinical context: Continuous infusion maintains steady state.
2–3 hours for infused amino acids; clinical context: rapid clearance in normal renal function, prolonged in renal impairment.
Amino acids are primarily metabolized; nitrogen is excreted as urea (renal, ~85%) and ammonia (renal, ~2-5%); glucose is fully metabolized to CO2 and water (exhaled and renal); electrolytes are excreted renally. Less than 5% excreted unchanged renally.
Renal, >95% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal.
