Um Ephedra is nasty stuff. I thought it had been outlawed in the US however I may be wrong. Not to scare you or your daughter but I believe there were some deaths directly associated with ephedra. There are other weight loss pills out there that don't have ephedra in them. I took something called Lipo-6 when I was losing weight in HS, which doesn't use ephedra, but does have a ton of caffeine in it. Either way make sure she doesn't take them longer than 6-8 weeks if I am remembering correctly.

Also diet pills aren't magical. They can accelerate weight loss but you still have to diet and exercise for them to work properly. Hope this helps.
