How do premedicants work?

Premedicants work by reducing anxiety and fear in patients before medical procedures. These medications are typically administered before surgery or other invasive treatments to help patients relax and feel more comfortable. They may also help decrease pain perception and provide sedation. Premedicants can be given orally, intravenously, or through inhalation, depending on the specific needs of the patient and the procedure being performed. The goal of premedication is to improve the overall experience for the patient and make the procedure easier for both the patient and medical staff.
