Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
Once the bones fuse, as would normally occur by the age of 21years, no medicine can increase their length.
There are insoles used in shoes which apparently increase the height. There are surgical procedures with which your leg bones are lengthened , leading to gain in height.
If you let me know more about the ad and the product, I can comment on it.
