Microgram it is a unit of measure thyroid medication is sometimes given in micro grams example Synthroid 300mcg is equal to Synthroid 0.3mg or milligrams
However if you are in doubt about instructions on any prescription medication you should call the pharmacy that filled the prescription and ask the pharmacist to be safe and sure.

the others are correct but as a retired pharmacist i am more concerned with the fact that you recived the medication without the pharmacy making clear what all is involved.if it was some abiguous instruction on the label,such as take x mcg then he/she should get out of the buisness.

mcg is the abbreviation for micrograms. the order goes grams, milligrams, micrograms. and if you really have concerns or questions about taking any prescribed medicine just take it to a pharmicist (any will help you) and ask. it is better to error on the side of caution as to guess and take the wrong (possible fatal) dose.

Microgram. One millionth of a gram. An mg, or milligram, would be 1,000 mcg's.
