tranquilization
Chemically induced stillness
Tranquilization is the act or process of calming someone or something, typically through medication.
The term appears most often in medical and veterinary contexts: The tranquilization of the bear allowed researchers to fit it with a tracking collar.
A tranquilizer is the drug used; tranquilization is what it accomplishes.
