TRAVASOL 3.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES 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 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% 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: 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; 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: ~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.
Amino acids: 0.5-2 hours; dextrose: 1-2 hours; clinical context: rapid elimination necessitates continuous infusion to maintain nutrient levels.
Renal: 100% of infused amino acids and electrolytes are excreted renally as urea and electrolytes, respectively.
Renal excretion of amino acids and dextrose metabolites; virtually 100% renal elimination of infused water and electrolytes.
