Glucagon for Hypoglycemia
Adult dosing has a median of 1 mg across 183 published protocols, with the middle half between 1 and 1.
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.
Adultmg
| min | p25 | median | p75 | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
Values in mg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
