Setcool 4mg Tablet DT is an antiemetic medicine used to control nausea and vomiting due to certain medical conditions, surgery, cancer drug therapy, or radiotherapy. Setcool 4mg Tablet DT may be used alone or with other medications and can be taken with or without food. Your doctor will suggest the appropriate dose depending on what you are taking it for.
