Procainamide for Wide-complex tachycardia
Adult dosing has a median of 20 mg across 12 published protocols, with the middle half between 20 and 20.
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.
