when to use singular/pleural of mg? - please see msg, TIA!

Posted: Apr 08, 2011

My account does not allow abbreviations in anything pertaining to medications. Dictators will always state milligrams, plural, even if it is 0.5 mg. When do I change it to singular, except obviously with 1 milligram? E.g.:

0.5 mg, 1.5 mg? Is anything over 1.0 pleural?

The abbreviation is never plural. - nm

You are correct. If you have to spell it out, anything - over 1 is plural. NM
