TRAVASOL 3.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES 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 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.
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.
Intravenous: 500 mL to 2 L per day as part of total parenteral nutrition; infusion rate adjusted to meet nutritional requirements and clinical status.
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.

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.
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% of infused amino acids and electrolytes are excreted renally as urea and electrolytes, respectively.
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.
