A member asked:
I'm 5.3 and 26 can i get taller if i get hormone injections? and what side affects does it have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Impossible - that will not work. You are too old to grow taller and even during puberty, there is no medication that will make you grow taller. If you think hormone injections will make you grow taller, all you will get is the many side effects including effects on menstruation, breast sensitivity, cholesterol level, risk of blood clots, acne, increased weight, bloating, glucose changes, etc.
