TRAVASOL 8.5% IN PLASTIC CONTAINER vs TRAVASOL 8.5% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN PLASTIC CONTAINER
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
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.
TRAVASOL 8.5% SULFITE FREE W/ ELECTROLYTES IN PLASTIC CONTAINER is a parenteral nutrition solution that provides a source of amino acids, electrolytes, and calories. The amino acids serve as substrates for protein synthesis and energy metabolism, replenishing nitrogen balance and supporting tissue repair and growth.
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.
Intravenous infusion. Individualized based on protein and electrolyte requirements. Typical adult dose: 500-2000 mL/day of 8.5% amino acid solution, infused at 60-125 mL/hour.

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.
Amino acids have short half-lives (minutes to hours) due to rapid metabolism; no single terminal half-life for mixture. Electrolytes have distribution half-lives of minutes.
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.
Renal: Amino acids are extensively reabsorbed; excess nitrogen is excreted as urea (renal, majority). Electrolytes are excreted renally with reabsorption regulation. Biliary/fecal: Negligible.
