Alexa Pharmaceuticals has one FDA-approved drug for acute agitation.

“the drug that ultimately got approved was for acute agitation and so there's a set of hypnotic for acute agitation and i'd say it's really wonderful for the patients who get it they come in the er it's something people don't always know about agitated patients it's like they're agitated they're frustrated but they also want to stop being agitated they don't want to act like that and so they're very eager to most cases to take a puff of something and calm down in a couple minutes it's uh it's wonderful for them”
