Are There Any Injections That Help In Height Growth?
Good day doctor, I'm 20 and only 5'5 inches. I seriously want to increase my height. I've heard about HGH injections that can help me grow. I want to visit a doctor for a prescription. What factors are considered before such prescription is given and how costly is it to get the prescription

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
No injections/medications can increase your height which is based on genetic composition. So, as you are only 20 yr old now, you can grow till 25 yrs(in males) so, please wait till then. Do not go for any quacks who say they can increase your height by some injections/medications. All the best.
