Sedatives primarily depress the central nervous system, leading to a calming effect that reduces anxiety, promotes relaxation, and can induce sleep. They may cause drowsiness, impaired coordination, and decreased cognitive function. Prolonged use can result in tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal symptoms. Additionally, sedatives can affect respiratory function, especially when combined with other depressants like alcohol.
