PREMASOL 10% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 8.5% W/O ELECTROLYTES
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% W/O ELECTROLYTES provides amino acids for protein synthesis, serving as a source of nitrogen and essential amino acids to support anabolism and prevent catabolism in patients unable to tolerate oral or enteral nutrition.
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; 500 mL to 1 L per day, administered at a rate of 100-200 mL/hour. Dosage depends on protein and calorie requirements, typically 0.8-1.5 g/kg/day of amino acids.

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.
Not applicable as a single value; amino acids have variable half-lives (minutes to hours) depending on individual metabolic demand and plasma concentration; continuous infusion achieves steady state rapidly.
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.
Primarily eliminated via metabolic pathways (hepatic deamination and transamination) with nitrogenous waste excreted renally as urea; negligible biliary/fecal excretion of unchanged amino acids.
