0.1 gram is called a decigram (dg), but like centigram (1 cg=0.01 g), the term is seldom used. Drugs for example would be more likely labelled with milligram (1 mg=0.001 g), 5 dg would be 500 mg, 5 cg would be 50 mg. This likely because the submultipliers are easily confused with their corresponding mulitpliers decagram and centagram for 10 and 100 gram respectively, which are also seldom used.
