Droperidol for Other
Adult dosing has a median of 2.5 mg across 38 published protocols, with the middle half between 2.5 and 5.
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.

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