[WikiEN-l] Rx Dosage Instructions in Wikipedia

[MacGyverMagic/Mgm]

I don't think giving dosage info is a smart idea. Besides the obvious fact
that there's going to be people who will take them at face value, the whole
point of prescription drugs is that a doctor needs to determine a dosage.

Dosages change per condition and from person to person (kids should get less
than adults and weighty adults should get more than lighter ones, and then
there's adjustments needed for big drinkers, pregnant people and people with
lung or heart conditions, just to name a few). There's no way Wikipedia can
give reliable information on dosages -ever- there's just too many
possibilities.
