Setgest 20mg Injection is an iron replacement medicine used to treat iron-deficiency anemia, a type of anemia where you have too few red blood cells due to low iron levels. Setgest 20mg Injection is given by slow infusion (drip) into a vein by your doctor or nurse. Your doctor will decide the dose you need and how many injections you should have to improve your anemia. It will also help to eat a well-balanced diet that has enough iron. Good sources of iron include pulses (dal), green leafy vegetables like spinach, beans, eggs, dry fruits, and non-vegetarian foods.
