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.

About Stone (st)

A British imperial unit of mass equal to exactly 14 pounds (= 6.35029318 kilograms per NIST SP 811). The stone is still the everyday unit for personal body weight in the United Kingdom and Ireland — colloquial usage routinely says 'I weigh 12 stone' rather than 168 pounds or 76 kilograms — and British bathroom scales typically display stones and pounds (e.g., '11 st 8 lb') as the primary scale alongside kilograms. Officially abolished from UK commerce in 1985 under the Weights and Measures Act amendments, the stone nonetheless remains cultural shorthand in British medical charts, GP consultations, fitness and weight-loss programs, and casual conversation about weight. Equine and livestock weights in Britain and Ireland are also still sometimes quoted in stones at agricultural auctions and equestrian weighing. Reference values: average UK adult male body weight ~12 st 5 lb (78 kg), average UK adult female ~11 st 2 lb (70 kg) per ONS Health Survey England. Convert stones to kg by multiplying by 6.350; to lb by multiplying by 14.
