TRAVASOL 2.75% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 25% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 3.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
TRAVASOL 2.75% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 25% is a parenteral nutrition solution providing calories (dextrose), amino acids (for protein synthesis), and electrolytes for maintenance of acid-base balance and cellular function. Dextrose is metabolized to glucose, which undergoes glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. Amino acids are used for protein synthesis and as an energy source. Electrolytes correct or prevent deficiencies.
TRAVASOL 3.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES is a parenteral nutrition solution providing amino acids (3.5% crystalline amino acids) and electrolytes for protein synthesis and maintenance of electrolyte balance in patients unable to meet nutritional needs enterally. The amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis, while electrolytes support cellular function and acid-base balance.
Intravenous infusion only. Adult dose determined by nutritional requirements and metabolic tolerance. Typical dose: 500-2000 mL/day infused continuously or intermittently, with dextrose dosage not exceeding 0.5 g/kg/h. Final concentration of dextrose and amino acids must be monitored.
Intravenous: 500 mL to 2 L per day as part of total parenteral nutrition; infusion rate adjusted to meet nutritional requirements and clinical status.

Dextrose: rapid, minutes (insulin dependent); amino acids: 20-30 min for free pool turnover; electrolytes: distribution half-life 2-4 hours, elimination depends on renal function. Clinical: continuous infusion maintains steady state.
Amino acids: ~5–10 min for free amino acids (rapidly cleared from plasma); electrolytes: not applicable as they are distributed and eliminated via homeostasis; clinical context: infusion requires continuous monitoring due to rapid clearance.
Primarily renal (glomerular filtration). Dextrose is completely metabolized; electrolytes (sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, magnesium, acetate) are excreted via kidneys. Acetate is metabolized to bicarbonate. No significant biliary/fecal elimination.
Renal: 100% of infused amino acids and electrolytes are excreted renally as urea and electrolytes, respectively.
