TRAVASOL 5.5% W/ ELECTROLYTES vs TRAVASOL 8.5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
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 8.5% is a crystalline amino acid solution that provides essential and non-essential amino acids for protein synthesis, tissue repair, and maintenance of nitrogen balance in patients unable to tolerate enteral nutrition.
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 administration as total parenteral nutrition: typical adult dose is 8.5% amino acid solution at 0.8-1.5 g protein/kg/day, infused continuously or cyclically.

2–3 hours for infused amino acids; clinical context: rapid clearance in normal renal function, prolonged in renal impairment.
Not applicable; constituent amino acids have individual half-lives (e.g., 0.5–2 hours for most L-amino acids) but overall elimination follows zero-order kinetics during continuous infusion. Clinically, infusion rate determines steady-state concentrations.
Renal, >95% as amino acids and metabolites; negligible biliary/fecal.
Renal elimination of nitrogenous waste products (urea, ammonia) derived from amino acid metabolism; biliary/fecal excretion negligible. In healthy adults, >90% of infused amino nitrogen is ultimately excreted as urea in urine.
