TRAVASOL 2.75% IN DEXTROSE 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.
Travasol 2.75% in Dextrose 10% provides essential amino acids and caloric support via dextrose. Amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis and nitrogen balance, while dextrose provides glucose for energy metabolism. The combination is used for parenteral nutrition to maintain or restore positive nitrogen balance in patients unable to tolerate enteral nutrition.
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.
Intravenous infusion. 1000 mL to 3000 mL per day, typically infused at 1.2-1.5 g amino acids/kg/day; adjust based on metabolic needs and fluid status.
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.

Not applicable as a single entity. Components are endogenous substances. Dextrose has a half-life of minutes due to rapid insulin-mediated uptake. Amino acids have variable half-lives (minutes to hours) depending on individual amino acid and metabolic state.
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.
TRAVASOL 2.75% IN DEXTROSE 10% is a combination of amino acids and dextrose. The amino acids are primarily metabolized and the nitrogen is excreted as urea in urine (renal, >90%). Dextrose is metabolized to CO2 and water; negligible biliary/fecal excretion.
Primarily eliminated via metabolic pathways (hepatic deamination and transamination) with nitrogenous waste excreted renally as urea; negligible biliary/fecal excretion of unchanged amino acids.
