The guideline is at:
[

"Do not include dose and titration information except when they are
notable or necessary for the discussion in the article. Wikipedia is
not an instruction manual or textbook and should not include
instructions, advice (legal, medical or otherwise) or "how-to"s; see
WP:NOT#HOWTO."
as for proposing to remove it, we'd need to start another discussion.

Would you be willing to post here a direct link to where this is in policy?
And also link to where you propose that we remove it. I agree with your
opinion that standard dosage is not "advice".
