For the meaning of VO, and approximately 30,000 other Spanish medical acronyms, consult this extremely useful web site. There's no cost to use the acronyms part.

4 vía oftálmica {→ v. oft. 1}
5 vía oral {→ v.o. 3}
6 vía ótica {→ v. ót. 1}
Most likely we're dealing with Via Oral, which is the most common ... but it could be one of the others depending on the context. It would help (the asker) to check the type medication and how it's being administered, if this is mentioned elsewhere in the report.
