How Domperidone+Naproxen works

Domperidone effectively treats migraine, which is commonly associated with nausea and vomiting, by blocking the centres in the brain and stomach that regulate nausea and vomiting. It also increases the contractions and movements in the stomach. Naproxen stops the pain pathways and reduces the release of substances (prostaglandins) that cause inflammation, thus decreasing pain and inflammation.
