It feels like a small hard tablet. Why?
Actually it is one of the most widely prescribed tranquilizers, and with such a good track record most Drs have little reservation to giving it in situations like this.
But my wife had a rare alergic reaction to it when the Dr gave her a shot for her agoraphobia while at his office. We were on our way home, and had to turn around because she broke out in hives and couldnt breathe. We went back to his office and the gave her a shot of eppy. and she was ok after that.
