TRAVASOL 2.75% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 4.25% IN DEXTROSE 10% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
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.
Provides parenteral nutrition with amino acids and dextrose to maintain nitrogen balance and provide caloric support in patients unable to tolerate oral or enteral feeding.
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.
Intravenous infusion: 1.5 to 2.5 g amino acids/kg body weight per day (equivalent to 35-60 mL/kg per day of TRAVASOL 4.25% IN DEXTROSE 10%) as part of total parenteral nutrition. Infusion rate should not exceed 0.2 g amino acids/kg per hour.

Amino acids: 15-30 min (rapid redistribution). Dextrose: 1-2 h. Clinical context: continuous infusion maintains steady state.
Not applicable as a single entity; amino acids have rapid clearance (minutes to hours), dextrose half-life <15 minutes under normal conditions.
Renal: >95% of infused amino acids and dextrose metabolites excreted as urea, CO2, and water. Biliary/fecal: negligible.
Amino acids are deaminated, with nitrogen excreted primarily as urea in urine (90-95%); small amounts excreted in feces (<5%) and bile (<1%). Dextrose is metabolized to CO2 and water.
