Thanks for asking in Healthcaremagic Forum

In Short: No medication can increase your height which is dependent on genes.

Explanation: Don't lose your heart, you can still grow till 18 yrs. Usually height and built depends on the genes inherited by you from your parents and older generation. So, my sincere advise is not to go for any medications which harm you rather than doing good.
Be, content with what you have, you are not short when we compare your height to other Indian population.
Be happy.
