Hi...
height is genetically determined.
It based on your mean parenteral height...
Using medication for height growth is useless..
Take good diet and do regular exercise...

The overall growth of the bones, depends1. On your genetic composition, 2. Current age.
The bones have open growth plates which fuse by age 18, so scientifically nothing can cause growth at these fused growth ends. It would be waste of time and money to take any medicines.
If you are really keen, then surgically by bone lengthening surgeries this can be performed. That is the only option.
