Subtle difference in the units.

Definitions:

Milligram: A unit of measurement of mass in the metric system equal to a thousandth of a gram. 1mg means 0.001 of a gram

Microgram: A unit of measurement of mass in the metric system equal to a millionth of a gram. 1 mcg means 0.000001 of a gram. It is more usual to write μg for micrograms.

And as Sepp says 2000 micrograms = 2milligrams.
