Brief Answer:
No medication for obesity
Detailed Answer:
HI,
Welcome to XXXXXXX care magic,
There are no exact medications for weight loss. The cause for the weight gain has to be treated. In your mother's case it is hypothyroidism which leads to obesity, where you should check her thyroid levels regularly and take regular Thyroxine supplements
Only suggestion for weight loss is high fibre diet and regular walking for 30mins. All the powders and medicines commercially available for weight loss have very bad adverse effects.
hope the information was useful
take care.
