AMINOSYN II 5% W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 25% W/ CALCIUM IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminosyn II 5% with electrolytes in dextrose 25% provides amino acids for protein synthesis, dextrose for caloric supply, and electrolytes for maintenance of acid-base balance and cellular function. Calcium is included for bone health and neuromuscular function.
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; initial adult dose 1.0 g/kg/day of amino acids, up to 1.5 g/kg/day; dextrose rate 5 mg/kg/min initially, titrate to 7 mg/kg/min; daily dose adjusted based on metabolic requirements, electrolytes as per serum levels.
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; component amino acids have half-lives ranging from minutes (e.g., alanine) to hours (e.g., branched-chain amino acids); dextrose half-life ~1.5-2 hours in normal glucose metabolism; 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.
Renal: amino acids and dextrose metabolites excreted primarily as urea, CO2, and water; electrolytes excreted renally with fractional excretion varying by individual needs; no significant biliary or fecal elimination.
Renal, >95% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal.
