AMINOSYN II 8.5% vs TRAVASOL 8.5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminosyn II 8.5% is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis when administered intravenously. It serves as a substrate for protein metabolism, promoting nitrogen retention and tissue repair.
TRAVASOL 8.5% is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and maintenance of nitrogen balance in patients unable to tolerate enteral nutrition.
Intravenous infusion, typical adult dose is 1.0 to 1.5 g amino acids/kg/day, administered as part of total parenteral nutrition; rate not to exceed 0.1 g amino acids/kg/hour.
Intravenous administration as total parenteral nutrition: typical adult dose is 8.5% amino acid solution at 0.8-1.5 g protein/kg/day, infused continuously or cyclically.

Variable; individual amino acids have half-lives ranging from minutes to hours. Clinical context: infusion rate and metabolic demand determine steady-state levels.
Not applicable; constituent amino acids have individual half-lives (e.g., 0.5–2 hours for most L-amino acids) but overall elimination follows zero-order kinetics during continuous infusion. Clinically, infusion rate determines steady-state concentrations.
Amino acids are primarily eliminated via metabolism; less than 10% is excreted renally as free amino acids. No significant biliary or fecal excretion.
Renal elimination of nitrogenous waste products (urea, ammonia) derived from amino acid metabolism; biliary/fecal excretion negligible. In healthy adults, >90% of infused amino nitrogen is ultimately excreted as urea in urine.
