A member asked:

Im 16 years old and 5ft 9.5inches. i would like to know some methods/medication i can take to increase my height.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Really no meds: Your height is really a function of genetics, esp if you are in the normal range on the curve. Hence in your case nothing can and needs to be done.
