I am pretty sure your Dr meant 100mcg, but I would double check. I have never heard of anyone being given doses higher than 30ish mg and that was via injections by Drs in a study for extreme cases.

100 mg is 1000 mcg. Clarify it with your pharmacist to be sure that is what you should take.

1 milligram is equivalent to 1000 micrograms. 100 mg = 100 000 mcg
