Thiamine IV Push

There seems to be some data out there that IV push of 500mg doses may be considered and is safe when compared to administering via IV infusion. Our current dose limit for administering thiamine IV push is 200mg but we are exploring increasing this to 500mg. What are other places doing? If anyone does allow thiamine 500mg IV push have you seen any safety concerns with it? Thanks!
