MEG on a script means milliequivalent & doesn't really tell you the measurement, it must be for potassium; it's very thought provoking I too have been trying to figure this out. you just want to know the mg huh? Evie mEq is used to denote an amount of a solute in a liter of solvent (i.e. the blood).
For instance, potassium (K) is often measured as mEq/L or mEq/dL. 10 mEq is equivalent to 750 mg, USP. -See related link: DailyMed.
After some research using various websites, the typical K intake per day is ~ 3.5 grams (3500 mg.). At the same time the usual K intake is stated elsewhere as 50-100 mEq/day. So, 1 mEq is somewhere in the range [70 mg, 35 mg.] (i.e., 3500/50 to 3500/100). Using the mid-point of the 50-100 mEq range (75), we get: 1 mEq ~ 46.7 mg -or-
10mEq ~ 467 mg.
A harder question is: If you start taking an additional 20 mEq of K today, how long does it take to show up in a blood test ?

How many grams is 1 meq?
The number of grams in 1 milliequivalent (meq) varies depending on the substance being measured, as it is a measure of the chemical combining power of the substance. To determine the exact weight in grams, you need to know the molar mass of the substance in question.
What does 20 meq mean?
mEq. or milliequivalents is one thousandth of a chemical equivalent. It is calculated by multiplying the milligrams per liter by the valence of the chemical and dividing by the molecular weight of the substance.
