Head-Pulse Tablet comprises two active medicines: domperidone and naproxen. Domperidone is an anti-sickness medication that treats vestibular disorders, vomiting and nausea. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that relieves pain.

Head-Pulse Tablet contains domperidone and naproxen; it works by blocking certain enzymes and preventing the stimulation of the brain's vomiting centre. It reduces symptoms like nausea, vomiting and pain associated with migraine headaches.

Domperidone can be classed as an anti-sickness medication. It belongs to a group of drugs named dopamine-2 receptor antagonists. This inhibition of dopamine receptors in our body allows it to act as a prokinetic (medicines that increase the speed of food passage in the digestive system) and an antiemetic agent (medicines that reduce nausea and vomiting).

Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that reduces pain and inflammation. It works by inhibiting enzymes called COX-1 and COX-2. This lowers the synthesis of prostaglandins (hormone-like chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation). Its analgesic properties are attributed to its ability to lower levels of prostaglandin in the tissue and blood.
