Brief Answer:
Growth upto 22 years age

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Males have the potential to grow some more upto 22 years of age as the length of the thigh and leg bones still grow. For women by around 19 years the growth stops.

You must eat healthy. Do regular exercise. Sleep 6 to 8 hours a day. This will help you achieve best health and better growth potential.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu

Brief Answer:
No Medicine will work

Detailed Answer:
There is no way to increase growth by artificial medicines.

You must eat healthy. Avoid becoming obese. Exercise regularly and keep fit. Once you become fit, you will automatically look taller. Also adopt good posture and avoid hunching while walking or sitting.
