Propranolol (Inderal) is a beta blocker, which is a class of medications that are commonly used to manage hypertension, angina, and in some cases, for the prophylaxis of migraine headaches. They work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the body's beta receptors, which helps to reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.
