I will not suggest that your daughter has Olimet as this medicine is not for weight gain. It shall be better you discuss with your doctor who can work with your daughter and try to increase her diet so that she puts weight. The doctor may suggest some medicines which may help in increasing her appetite.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
