Micrograms, Milligrams and Grams

In the recent past, I have noticed a very considerable number of people mis-reporting things like levothyroxine or liothyronine doses as being mg (milligrams) rather than mcg (micrograms).

On the forum, it would usually be understood anyway. But if you need to communicate with doctors, pharmacists nurses, etc., it is a good idea to get it right.
