Ibuprofen for Fever
Pediatric weight-based dosing has a median of 10 mg/kg across 54 published protocols, with the middle half between 10 and 10.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
Values in mg/kg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
