Converting Milligrams to Micrograms Flashcards

Study Notes

Conversion Basics

1 milligram (mg) is equal to 1000 micrograms (µg).
To convert mg to µg, multiply the number of milligrams by 1000.
To convert µg to mg, divide the number of micrograms by 1000.

Specific Conversions

5 mg equals 5000 µg, a significant amount used in various dosing applications.
0.1 mg is equivalent to 100 µg, useful for precise micro-dosing in pharmaceuticals.
12 mg translates to 12000 µg, commonly seen in dietary supplements.
0.25 mg is the same as 250 µg, often found in medication formulations.
2 mg converts to 2000 µg, a dosage frequently used in therapeutic settings.
1.4 mg equals 1400 µg, sometimes used in micronutrient recommendations.

Microgram to Milligram Conversions

150 µg is equal to 0.15 mg, highlighting small nutrient levels.
50 µg converts to 0.05 mg, often noted in vitamin labels.
450 µg is the same as 0.45 mg, relevant for dosage measurements.
850 µg equals 0.85 mg, which can be crucial in specific treatments.

Reverse Conversions

5 µg translates to 0.005 mg, representing minimal amounts in critical applications.
1400 µg is equal to 1.4 mg, showing a straightforward conversion in medical contexts.
2100 µg equals 2.1 mg, another example of commonly used dosage.
65 µg converts to 0.065 mg, illustrating the need for precision in lower dosages.
