TRAVASOL 2.75% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 4.25% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 20% 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.
TRAVASOL 4.25% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN DEXTROSE 20% is a combination of amino acids, electrolytes, and dextrose used for parenteral nutrition. Amino acids provide substrates for protein synthesis; electrolytes maintain acid-base balance and cellular function; dextrose provides caloric energy. Sulfite-free formulation reduces risk of allergic reactions.
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; dose determined by individual protein and caloric requirements, typically 1.5 to 2.5 g/kg/day of amino acids (equivalent to 35-59 mL/kg/day of TRAVASOL 4.25%) for adults.

Amino acids: 15-30 min (rapid redistribution). Dextrose: 1-2 h. Clinical context: continuous infusion maintains steady state.
Amino acids: 0.5-2 hours; dextrose: 1-2 hours; clinical context: rapid elimination necessitates continuous infusion to maintain nutrient levels.
Renal: >95% of infused amino acids and dextrose metabolites excreted as urea, CO2, and water. Biliary/fecal: negligible.
Renal excretion of amino acids and dextrose metabolites; virtually 100% renal elimination of infused water and electrolytes.
