Dextrose for Hyperkalemia
Adult dosing has a median of 25000 mg across 12 published protocols, with the middle half between 25000 and 25000.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.

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