Tranquilizers are a class of drugs that reduce anxiety and tension. They are also sometimes used to treat insomnia. Meprobamate is an example of a tranquilizer.

Antifertility drugs are a type of medication used to prevent pregnancy. They work by preventing ovulation, interfering with fertilization, or preventing implantation of the fertilized egg. Norethindrone is an example of an anti-fertility drug.
