HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your son, as matter of fact no need to give any medicine for increasing the weight, of course this medicine would increase the weight but your son have to pay for that in the form of his health issues, so it is better not to take such medicine, medicine can only be taken for disease where medicine is the only option and life is matter, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
