Magnesium Sulfate 20gm

Hello, does your institution restrict 20gm magnesium sulfate orders to certain units? Or are there any alerts in place for doses greater than a particular threshold?

We recently had a near miss with 20 grams magnesium sulfate and I am trying to identify system based strategies to safeguard the orders.

Appreciate your input!
