tranquilizes
Renders peacefully unconscious
Tranquilizes means administers a tranquilizer—a drug that calms or sedates.
Veterinarians tranquilize animals for medical procedures; zookeepers tranquilize escaped creatures for safe capture.
The word extends to anything that produces calm: The repetitive motion of the waves tranquilizes me.
