When an individual or animal is tranquilized, they experience a decreased level of physical or mental agitation, anxiety, or stress. Tranquilizers work by depressing the central nervous system, typically through various psychoactive substances or drugs, thus producing a calming effect.

They are also employed during surgical procedures to induce a state of sedation or unconsciousness, ensuring the patient remains relaxed and unaware of pain. Additionally, tranquilizers can be used in veterinary medicine to calm or sedate animals for various reasons, such as reducing aggression, facilitating examinations, or making the transportation of animals easier.
When an individual or animal is tranquilized, they may exhibit physical signs of relaxation or sleepiness, such as slowed breathing, decreased heart rate, or muscle relaxation. It is crucial to follow proper medical guidelines and dosages when tranquilizing individuals or animals to avoid any potential risks or adverse reactions.
