AMINOSYN-PF 7% vs TRAVASOL 4.25% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 20% 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.
TRAVASOL 4.25% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 20% is a combination of amino acids, electrolytes, and dextrose used for parenteral nutrition. Amino acids provide substrates for protein synthesis; electrolytes maintain acid-base balance and cellular function; dextrose provides caloric energy. Sulfite-free formulation reduces risk of allergic reactions.
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; dose determined by individual protein and caloric requirements, typically 1.5 to 2.5 g/kg/day of amino acids (equivalent to 35-59 mL/kg/day of TRAVASOL 4.25%) for adults.

As a mixture of amino acids, individual amino acids have half-lives ranging from minutes to hours; clinically, continuous infusion maintains steady state.
Amino acids: 0.5-2 hours; dextrose: 1-2 hours; clinical context: rapid elimination necessitates continuous infusion to maintain nutrient levels.
Amino acids are primarily cleared by metabolism; less than 10% is excreted unchanged in urine.
Renal excretion of amino acids and dextrose metabolites; virtually 100% renal elimination of infused water and electrolytes.
