Levetiracetam for Status epilepticus
Pediatric weight-based dosing has a median of 40 mg/kg across 9 published protocols, with the middle half between 20 and 60.
Includes 1 agency outside the US.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.
Pediatric, weight-basedmg/kg
| min | p25 | median | p75 | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 20 | 40 | 60 | 60 |
Values in mg/kg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
