milligrams
SayMIL-i-gramz/ˈmɪlɪɡɹæmz/
- 1Plural of milligram.
Each tablet contains five hundred milligrams of the active ingredient.
Nutrition labels list sodium content in milligrams per serving.
Note
A regular plural, formed with -s like most unit names: one milligram, five hundred milligrams. When the amount is written as a figure, the symbol mg usually replaces the word, and the symbol stays the same for one or many: 500 mg, not 500 mgs. Spelled out, the plural pairs naturally with of for quantities (milligrams of sodium) and with per for rates (milligrams per serving).
