Dextrose for Other
Adult dosing has a median of 25000 mg across 24 published protocols, with the middle half between 25000 and 25000.
1,335 rows are under review across the census and excluded from every number on this page. How that works.

Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a drug five times still gets one vote.
