English translation:n.t.r.
Explanation:
This is Latin not Italian: per os means orally, per im means intramuscularly (intramuscularis) , per sc, subcutaneously (subcutaneus). These expressions are used as is in English. I don't for sure know what per ic means, but I imagine intradermally (intracutaneus).
