Pharmacology
Propranolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking agent that competitively blocks beta-receptor-stimulating agents, reducing chronotropic, inotropic, and vasodilator responses to beta-adrenergic stimulation; at doses greater than required for beta blockade, it also exerts a quinidine-like membrane action affecting the cardiac action potential.
5-HT1F receptor agonist; lasmiditan binds with high affinity to the 5-HT1F receptor and presumably exerts its therapeutic effects in migraine through agonist activity at this receptor, though the precise mechanism is unknown.
