TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES vs TRAVASOL 5.5% W/O ELECTROLYTES
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES is a parenteral nutritional solution providing amino acids and electrolytes. Amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis, while electrolytes maintain osmotic balance and support cellular functions. The solution bypasses gastrointestinal absorption, directly entering the bloodstream.
TRAVASOL 5.5% W/O ELECTROLYTES is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and nitrogen balance in patients unable to tolerate enteral nutrition. It serves as a substrate for gluconeogenesis and other metabolic processes.
Intravenous infusion: 25-40 mL/kg/day (1.5-2.2 g amino acids/kg/day) as total parenteral nutrition; rate adjusted based on metabolic and clinical response.
Intravenous infusion, 500 mL to 2000 mL per day as a component of total parenteral nutrition (TPN), providing 5.5% amino acids. Rate should be individualized based on metabolic requirements and tolerance.

2–3 hours for infused amino acids; clinical context: rapid clearance in normal renal function, prolonged in renal impairment.
Not applicable as a fixed drug; the clearance of infused amino acids follows saturable kinetics with a functional half-life of approximately 30-60 minutes for free amino acids in plasma, reflecting rapid uptake and metabolism. Clinical context: continuous infusion maintains steady-state levels.
Renal, >95% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal.
Primarily renal excretion of amino acids and metabolites; approximately 70-80% of infused amino acids are converted to urea and excreted in urine, with the remainder undergoing metabolism or incorporation into body proteins. Biliary/fecal excretion is negligible.
