arrrghhhh I don't know how to say what I want to say!!!! arrrgghhhhhh

It would be 175 mcg or .175 mg some people mix up when to use the decimal point and when not to... it depends on if you are talking mcg or mg

175 mg is 1000 times as much as 175 mcg

17.5 mg is 100 times as much as 175 mcg

1.75 mg is 10 times as much as 175 mcg

I have NO idea if that makes any sense.....

I had a bear of a time when I first started... some prescriptions showed mg and some showed mcg and I never could remember where the decimal point was supposed to go... so I ended up learning the color codes to know if I had the right pills or not....
