Question

Most modern medications are given in doses of milligrams. Thyroid medications, however, are typically given in doses of micrograms. How many milligrams are in a dose labeled 125 ug?

Answer 1

To convert micrograms (ug) to milligrams (mg), we need to divide the value by 1000.

125 ug / 1000 = 0.125 mg

Therefore, a dose labeled 125 ug is equivalent to 0.125 mg.
