Incapacitation. Often by irritating mucous membranes to restrict breathing and/or vision.
In pharmacology, the term "slow agent" often refers to medications or substances that have a gradual onset of action or prolonged duration of effect. An example of a slow agent is the class of medications known as beta-blockers, which typically take time to achieve their therapeutic effects in conditions such as hypertension or heart failure. These agents work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, leading to a gradual decrease in heart rate and blood pressure.
Chemical agents that produce temporary disabling conditions are often referred to as "incapacitating agents." These substances can induce various effects, including physical incapacitation or psychological disturbances, and may lead to symptoms like confusion, disorientation, or loss of motor control. Their effects can linger for hours or even days after exposure has ended, impacting an individual's ability to function normally. Such agents are sometimes used in law enforcement or military operations to control crowds or incapacitate individuals without causing permanent harm.
3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate (BZ) is a powerful anticholinergic drug that acts on the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as confusion, hallucinations, agitation, and delirium. It blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, leading to a range of effects on the body, including decreased cognitive function, dry mouth, dilated pupils, and increased heart rate. In high doses, BZ can induce incapacitation and potentially be lethal.
The primary active agent identified to date is 9-tetrahydro-cannabinol, known as THC.
One chemical agent considered to be a slow effect agent is tabun. It is considered a "nerve agent" since it attacks the nervous system. Its symptoms usually present themselves slowly when absorbed through the skin.

It is an Incapacitating agent
A casualty suffering from exposure to an incapacitating agent may require immediate decontamination to remove the agent from their skin and clothing. Supportive care, including monitoring vital signs and providing oxygen if needed, is essential. In some cases, specific antidotes may be administered depending on the type of agent involved. Medical professionals should also assess and manage any psychological effects resulting from the exposure.

Incapacitating agent, Riot Control Agent, CS, and CN, are all descriptions of non-lethal agents used in military training. This training is generally designed to prepare military members to protect themselves in hazardous environment such as chemical agent contaminated areas.
