50 mg to mcg

50 mg = 50,000 mcg

To convert milligrams to micrograms, multiply the milligram value by 1,000. So 50 mg × 1,000 = 50,000 micrograms.

Yes. µg is the SI symbol; pharmacies write mcg so that a handwritten µ is never read as m, an error that would multiply the dose by 1,000. Both mean one millionth of a gram, so 50 milligrams = 50,000 micrograms either way.
