TRAVASOL 2.75% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 15% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 4.25% IN DEXTROSE 5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Travasol 2.75% with electrolytes in dextrose 15% is a parenteral nutrition formulation. It provides amino acids for protein synthesis, dextrose for caloric energy, and electrolytes for maintaining homeostasis. Dextrose stimulates insulin release and provides glucose for cellular metabolism. Amino acids are utilized for tissue repair and nitrogen balance. Electrolytes maintain acid-base balance, neuromuscular function, and enzymatic processes.
Travasol 4.25% in dextrose 5% is a parenteral nutrition solution providing amino acids and carbohydrates. Amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis and other metabolic processes, while dextrose provides a source of glucose for energy. The combination supports tissue repair, growth, and maintenance.
TRAVASOL 2.75% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 15% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER is a total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solution. Adult dosing is based on caloric and protein needs: typically 1-2 L/day intravenously, providing 15% dextrose (150 g/L) and 2.75% amino acids (27.5 g/L). Infusion rate initially 1.5-2 mL/min, adjusted to meet metabolic requirements.
Intravenous infusion: 500-2000 mL per day as a source of amino acids and calories, adjusted based on metabolic needs and clinical response. Typical adult dose is 1.5-2.0 g/kg/day of amino acids (equivalent to 35-47 mL/kg/day of TRAVASOL 4.25% IN DEXTROSE 5%) administered via central or peripheral line.

Not applicable (mixture of nutrients with endogenous clearance). Glucose: ~1-2 h; amino acids: ~0.5-2 h; electrolytes: vary.
Not applicable as a combined product; amino acids have half-lives of minutes to hours depending on individual amino acid, and dextrose has a half-life of ~15-20 minutes under normal glucose homeostasis.
Renal: 100% (as glucose, amino acids, and electrolytes). Biliary/fecal: negligible.
Travasol 4.25% in dextrose 5% is a parenteral nutrition solution; the amino acids are metabolized and the nitrogen is excreted primarily in urine as urea (≥90%). Dextrose is metabolized to CO2 and water, with minimal biliary or fecal excretion.
