AMINOSYN II 7% 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Not applicable; exogenous amino acids are rapidly cleared from plasma with a terminal half-life of 15-20 minutes for individual amino acids.
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 as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal.
Renal: Amino acids are extensively reabsorbed; excess nitrogen is excreted as urea (renal, majority). Electrolytes are excreted renally with reabsorption regulation. Biliary/fecal: Negligible.
