A member asked:
Is it truth or myth that thyroxine can cause couple inches growth (height) even in late 30s? doc said "overdoing thyroxine" can. what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It cannot affect the growth plates in someone in their 30's. You should have reached your max height many years ago.
