Answer 1

sedative might be another synonym (sedante) even though to a pharmacist I'm sure that there is a difference between a sedative and a tranquilizer.

sedative: barbituates for acute anxiety, tension, sleep disorders

tranquilizer: benzodiazopines for acute stress reactions, anxiety, panic attacks

Prescription medications that act as central nervous system: depressants.

Answer 2

From Gran Diccionario Oxford

tranquilizante (adj)

a. tranquilizador, which is also an adjective, of course, and means:

[for words or news palabras/noticia] reassuring;

[for music, música] soothing;

La droga tiene un efecto tranquilizador. The drug has a tranquilizing or calming effect

b. (Medical) tranquilizing
