TRAVASOL 10% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Travasol 10% (amino acids injection) provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis and nitrogen equilibrium in patients unable to obtain adequate nutrition orally or enterally. Amino acids are building blocks for proteins; they also serve as substrates for gluconeogenesis and other metabolic pathways.
TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES is a parenteral nutritional solution providing amino acids and electrolytes. Amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis, while electrolytes maintain osmotic balance and support cellular functions. The solution bypasses gastrointestinal absorption, directly entering the bloodstream.
Intravenous infusion: 500 mL to 2 L per day, administered at a rate not exceeding 4 mL/kg/h. Typical adult dose is 1-2 g protein/kg/day (equivalent to 10-20 mL/kg/day of 10% solution). Rate and volume are adjusted based on patient's metabolic needs and clinical status.
Intravenous infusion: 25-40 mL/kg/day (1.5-2.2 g amino acids/kg/day) as total parenteral nutrition; rate adjusted based on metabolic and clinical response.

Not applicable as a single entity; constituent amino acids have half-lives varying from minutes to hours (e.g., 10-30 min for most). Clinical context: continuous infusion maintains steady state.
2–3 hours for infused amino acids; clinical context: rapid clearance in normal renal function, prolonged in renal impairment.
Renal excretion of infused amino acids and their metabolites; excess nitrogen excreted as urea in urine. ~90-95% of infused amino acids are utilized or excreted renally. Fecal excretion negligible.
Renal, >95% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal.
