Given a sedative

Tranquilised is the British spelling of tranquilized—the past tense of tranquilize, meaning to administer a sedative drug to calm or sedate.

The word applies to animals being subdued for veterinary care or capture: The vet tranquilised the tiger before the examination.

It extends to any induced calm: The medication left her tranquilised and drowsy.
