Acetaminophen for Severe pain
Adult dosing has a median of 1000 mg across 11 published protocols, with the middle half between 1000 and 1000.
1,335 rows are under review across the census and excluded from every number on this page. How that works.
Adultmg
| min | p25 | median | p75 | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 |
Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a drug five times still gets one vote.

- IV 57%
