What Does 100 Mcg Mean Vs 0.1 Mg?

Updated

I ran out of synthroid. It shows 0.1MG. I got a temporary bottle that shows 100MCG. Are they the same?

Hi Lucille,

Conversion tools verify that 100mcg (micrograms) is actually equal to 0.1mg (milligrams), so you should have nothing to worry about as far as taking the correct dosage is concerned.

If you were given the temporary bottle by another pharmacy, that could explain why they used a different measurement than you were used to seeing.

I hope this helps!

Hi. I am taking methylcobalamin 500 MG inj. every two weeks, but when you convert mg to mcg you get very high numbers. I am concerned that I am talking too much. Please help! Thank you

You need to have an empty stomach. The best is to take it 1/2 before you begin your daily routine; This is when one gets up, as this med is what helps your thyroid to start working at its best.

I have found out through the Dept. of Veterans Affairs Pharmacy Service below.

Levothyroxine NA (Synthroid) 0.1mg Tab is the same as Synthroid 100mcg tablets. This is used for patients with and without their Thyroid that are having diagnosed problems.
