TRAVASOL 10% W/O ELECTROLYTES vs TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Travasol 10% w/o electrolytes is a parenteral nutrition solution containing essential and non-essential amino acids. The amino acids provide substrates for protein synthesis, thereby supporting tissue repair, growth, and maintenance. The solution also provides a source of nitrogen and caloric replacement.
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.
10% amino acid solution administered intravenously via central line at 0.5-1.0 g amino acids/kg/day, not to exceed 2.5 g/kg/day; typical infusion rate 50-125 mL/hr.
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.

The terminal elimination half-life of infused amino acids is approximately 1-2 hours, reflecting rapid metabolism and clearance. Clinical context: Steady state is achieved within 1-2 hours of continuous infusion.
2–3 hours for infused amino acids; clinical context: rapid clearance in normal renal function, prolonged in renal impairment.
Amino acids are primarily metabolized; nitrogen is excreted renally as urea (∼85-90%), with small amounts in feces (∼5%) and minimal biliary elimination. Electrolytes are excreted renally, with excretion proportional to intake and renal function.
Renal, >95% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal.
