milligrammes
Minute mass units
Milligrammes is the British spelling of milligrams—units of mass equal to one-thousandth of a gram.
The measurement appears in pharmaceutical dosages, nutritional labels, and scientific contexts: The tablet contains 500 milligrammes of paracetamol.
Both spellings are correct; Americans prefer milligrams.
