High Dose Solu-Medrol (30 mG/kG or more) for Pediatric Patients

Can you please share how your institution deals with dispensing and administering High Dose (30 mG/kG or more)Solu-Medrol to pediatric population.

I am mainly interested in:

1. Do you dispense concentration based product (62.5 mG/mL or other) or total drug/volume XX mG/100 mL.

2. Do you have standard administration time for administration of the full dose? 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour.

All feedback is greatly appreciated.
