No such medicine. Eat healthy diet, that is protein and vitamin rich diet. Do physical exercise everyday and sleep for 8hrs in a day. That all will make your body healthy and fit and grow u taller by some inches more

There is no authorised medicine for height growth. After attained of puberty the height growth chances are limited. Your height seems to be in the physiological range , height growth depends on the genetic potential. U can take vit D supplements to attain maximum height potential, donot rely on false claims as those ayurvedic concoctions might harm your body in the long run.
