That is widespread in US medicine. American medical sources say that 'µg' should not be used. They recommend 'microgram' or 'mcg'. The stated reasons are that it could be mistaken for mg or ng. The same reasoning would apply to any use of the prefix. See: http://www.med.umich.edu/prmc/star/archive/2004/0107/abbrev.htm The British medical view is that 'mcg' must not be used.
