Hello,
At your age of 22 yrs it is not possible to increase height by giving any medications as your growth plates have fused in all bones and with growth plates closed there is no medication in this world which can significantly increase height.
However, there is nothing impossible with modern progress of science. There are some procedures which allow growth of bones in cases for limb length difference due to some infection, trauma or any reason if limb is short is causing functional problem. These procedures involve a lot of complications and are not advised for cosmetic purpose of short overall height.
For any details, I would suggest you to contact me on online consultation.
