3 hrs confidence:

peer agreement (net): +3

m/m

Explanation:
Unless it means "mais ou menos" (which is unlikely), it probably means "microgram per miligram" or something like that. It could also mean "mililiter", "miligram", etc.

Since all the "m" words in this context start with an M both in English and Portuguese, I wouldn't bother beating myself to death on this but just leave it as "m/m".
