Calcium Chloride for Hyperkalemia
Adult dosing has a median of 1000 mg across 130 published protocols, with the middle half between 1000 and 1000.
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.

| 500 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 |
Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
