Hello.Naproxen is used for its anti-inflammatory effect and propranolol by vasoactive effect (according to the theory that explains the migraine vasoconstriction-vasodilation).
Naproxen is used to treat migraine attacks at a dose of 500 mg twice-thrice a day.Propranolol is used to prevent migraine attacks at a dose of 80-240 mg per day (divided into 3 doses).
Good luck with your final project.Regards.
