tranquilliser
A tranquilliser, also known as a tranquilizer, is a type of drug that is used to reduce tension or anxiety, induce calmness, and essentially tranquillise the person it is used on. There are two main types: minor tranquillisers, used to treat anxiety and tension, and major tranquillisers, used to treat psychosis. These drugs can have side effects and may lead to dependency if misused. They are typically only available with a medical prescription.
