Magnesium Sulfate for Asthma / bronchospasm
Adult dosing has a median of 2000 mg across 129 published protocols, with the middle half between 2000 and 2000.
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.
