None: There is no oral medication to increase your height. Only evaluation by an endocrinologist can make a diagnosis of short stature and growth delay and order injections of growth hormone if medically indicated.

None available: Growth centers in long bones determine how tall you can grow.Most growth centers will close at 16-18 in males. If your growth centers are open, a balanced diet/rest ; healthy physical activity will support good growth and gh injections would only get you to your expected genetic height faster, not add extra.No pills will help.If your mom is >10cm shorter than dad, you may have finished growth.
