> Kaye, you have to convert from microgram to milligrams first, so your calculation is not correct. I can't remember how to do this myself but someone here should be able to help.
> SGmicro- prefix meaning one millionth, contracted to mc (or the Greek lower case mu)
mili- prefix meaning one thousandth, contracted to mmicro to mili: divide by 1000
mili to micro: multiply by 1000By the way, if anyone ever has a problem with unit conversions, the Google search window is also a unit conversion engine. Type in something like e.g. "3 miles in centimeters", and it will tell you how many there are. Natural language structure is fine.
