What Does Mg (mili Gram) Mean In Medicines ?

Updated

What i want to know is if i take a medicine :-
1. 500 mg tablet, orally
2. 500 mg injection intravenously
is it the same ? or is the injection more effective ?
Does 500 mg mean that 500 miligram of the said drug will be reaching the target tissue ? because if yes then both pill and injection should have the same effect.

P.S. - I did try googling it , found no satisfactory answer.
