PREMASOL 10% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER 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.
Provides essential amino acids for protein synthesis and maintenance of nitrogen balance.
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.
1-2 g/kg/day intravenously as a continuous infusion or in divided doses; typical starting dose for adults with normal renal function: 1 g/kg/day.
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.

The terminal elimination half-life of infused amino acids is approximately 0.5-1 hour for most amino acids, reflecting rapid metabolism and distribution. Clinically, this supports continuous infusion to maintain plasma amino acid levels.
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.
Amino acids in Premasol 10% are metabolized and the nitrogen is eliminated primarily as urea via renal excretion (80-90%). A small fraction is excreted in feces (5-10%) and as ammonia in urine. Biliary excretion is negligible.
Renal: Amino acids are extensively reabsorbed; excess nitrogen is excreted as urea (renal, majority). Electrolytes are excreted renally with reabsorption regulation. Biliary/fecal: Negligible.
