Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for your beloved mother.
Yes, weight gain is one of the important side effects of Valparin Chrono 500.
Consult her treating physician/neurologist to review the prescribed medication as the weight gain may have its adverse impact on her health on long term basis. An alternate effective but a safer anti epileptic medication may be needed.
Hope this will help her.
