Your average height will likel be greater than the average of your mother and father in the average + as number that varies around the world. I am not certain what u want medicines for? To be taller or shorter. Go to uptodate.com and read more. Then discuss with your team. Do not take anything advertising greater height. Dangerous.

Males usually usually grow until age 17-18 & reach a final height equal to the average of both parents plus 2.5 inches +/-. An x-ray of your wrist/hand can detect growth centers & confirm growth potential. Medicines don't change your final height so avoid them.
