Prednisone for Respiratory distress
Adult dosing has a median of 50 mg across 7 published protocols, with the middle half between 50 and 50.
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.
