precise indication (indicación precisa)
I've seen it used on prescriptions as a placeholder for the amount of medicine you have to take and the frequency with which you take it.
I. P. stands for "indicación precisa" and serves to remind doctors that they must replace this expression with a precise indication of how many units of medicine the patient must take and exactly how often he must take them. In your text, you say the text has been replaced with "1 unit" and "every 2 hours".
