AMINOSYN-PF 7% vs TRAVASOL 4.25% IN DEXTROSE 10% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminosyn-PF 7% is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, thereby maintaining nitrogen balance and supporting tissue repair and growth in parenteral nutrition.
Provides parenteral nutrition with amino acids and dextrose to maintain nitrogen balance and provide caloric support in patients unable to tolerate oral or enteral feeding.
Intravenous infusion; typical adult dose: 1-2 g amino acids/kg/day (e.g., 14-28 mL/kg/day for 7% solution) as part of parenteral nutrition. Infusion rate not to exceed 0.1 g amino acids/kg/hour.
Intravenous infusion: 1.5 to 2.5 g amino acids/kg body weight per day (equivalent to 35-60 mL/kg per day of TRAVASOL 4.25% IN DEXTROSE 10%) as part of total parenteral nutrition. Infusion rate should not exceed 0.2 g amino acids/kg per hour.

As a mixture of amino acids, individual amino acids have half-lives ranging from minutes to hours; clinically, continuous infusion maintains steady state.
Not applicable as a single entity; amino acids have rapid clearance (minutes to hours), dextrose half-life <15 minutes under normal conditions.
Amino acids are primarily cleared by metabolism; less than 10% is excreted unchanged in urine.
Amino acids are deaminated, with nitrogen excreted primarily as urea in urine (90-95%); small amounts excreted in feces (<5%) and bile (<1%). Dextrose is metabolized to CO2 and water.
