Hi, I am sorry to inform you that  at the age of nineteen years, there are no medications which can help you gain height. If you do stretching excercises, there are chances that you can add an inch to your height.  If you had taken treatment before or during your puberty years, there are medicines which could have helped you .  Regards Dr Suman Mohan
