Why is giving it in terms of body mass when that is
the official
standard not correct?. For some drugs there is a range of usual dose,
for some there is a single standard dose. We are on much firmer
ground reporting a standard than reporting an empirical range based
upon non-official secondary sources.
I didn't say it wasn't correct. It is just unwise. Specific dosage
information can be used for administering treatment (and, therefore,
can cause serious problems if it is incorrect), a range of typical
doses can't be.
