About Milligram (mg)
A metric unit of mass equal to exactly 0.001 g = 10⁻⁶ kg = 10⁻³ g. The milligram is the standard unit for pharmaceutical dosing per FDA + EMA + ICH guidelines + USP <795> (typical tablet contents 50-1000 mg active pharmaceutical ingredient; aspirin 81 mg or 325 mg; ibuprofen 200/400/600 mg; acetaminophen 325/500 mg; amoxicillin 250/500 mg; metformin 500/850/1000 mg; ranitidine 75/150 mg; warfarin 1/2.5/5 mg), vitamin and supplement labeling per FDA 21 CFR 101.36 + 21 CFR 101.9 + EFSA NRV (vitamin C 60-1000 mg/day; calcium 1000-1200 mg/day; iron 8-18 mg/day; magnesium 310-420 mg/day; zinc 8-11 mg/day), trace analytical chemistry, nutritional micronutrient values (sodium content quoted in mg per serving; daily limit 2,300 mg per FDA 2020 Dietary Guidelines; caffeine in coffee ~95 mg per 8 oz cup), environmental pollutant concentrations (drinking-water mg/L = ppm; EPA MCLs in mg/L for lead 0.015, arsenic 0.010, copper 1.3), and air-quality regulations per EPA NAAQS (CO 9 ppm 8-hr = 10 mg/m³). Convert mg to grains by multiplying by 0.01543; to grams by multiplying by 0.001.
