The Quick Method for changing micrograms to milligrams is to write the equivalent that you need, show which way the decimal point should move by drawing an arrow, make sure the open part of the arrow always faces the larger measure, and remember that 1 mg = 1000 mcg. The milligram is the larger measure (2500 mcg < x mg). The arrow directs moving the decimal point three places to the left (2500 mcg = 2.5 mg). Next, multiply 2.5 mg × 7 days = 17.5 mg.
