If we call the drug L, and the binding sites S, the equilibrium is the following:
$$\ce{LS <=> L + S}$$
The equilibrium constant expression is:
$$K_d = \frac{[\ce{L}] [\ce{S}]}{[\ce{LS}]}$$
With $[\ce{L}]_\mathrm{tot}$ as the total concentration of ligand and $[\ce{S}]_\mathrm{tot}$ the total concentration of binding sites, we can solve of $[\ce{L}]...

I would guess $Ω^m$ notation is a personal invention and I couldn't find any sources that would standardize it.
The choice of these symbols for abbreviating "equilibrium" may be justified that the glyph "Libra" ♎ originates from the Greek letter Omega Ω.
Further, from Merriam–Webster Online:
Equilibrium contains a root from the Latin libra, meaning "...
