Glucagon for Beta-blocker / calcium-channel-blocker overdose
Adult dosing has a median of 2 mg across 93 published protocols, with the middle half between 1 and 3.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 5 |
Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a drug five times still gets one vote.
