TRAVASOL 2.75% IN DEXTROSE 5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 2.75% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Amino acids provide substrates for protein synthesis and energy metabolism; dextrose provides caloric support.
TRAVASOL 2.75% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 5% is a crystalline amino acid solution combined with electrolytes and dextrose. Amino acids provide substrates for protein synthesis, dextrose supplies calories to minimize protein catabolism, and electrolytes maintain acid-base and electrolyte balance.
Intravenous infusion. Typical adult dose: 500 mL to 1000 mL per day administered at a rate not exceeding 5 mL/kg/hour, based on protein and electrolyte requirements.
Intravenous infusion: 500-1000 mL administered over 1-2 hours per day, adjusted based on electrolyte and fluid requirements. Typical adult dose provides 2.75% amino acids and 5% dextrose with electrolytes.

Not applicable; components are endogenous substances with rapid metabolic turnover. Exogenous amino acids have half-lives of minutes to hours, dextrose ~1-2 hours.
Amino acids: 15-30 min (rapid redistribution). Dextrose: 1-2 h. Clinical context: continuous infusion maintains steady state.
Renal: 100% of infused amino acids and dextrose are metabolized or excreted; no intact drug excretion. Biliary/fecal: negligible.
Renal: >95% of infused amino acids and dextrose metabolites excreted as urea, CO2, and water. Biliary/fecal: negligible.
