Suggest Medication And Exercise For Weight Gain

Sir, I am 21 year old indian student.....& i m doing properly a lot of stretching exercises daily. My height is 168cm and may be it is good, but i also want to achieve more height atleast 2-3 inches. So i am not taking any medicines yet for any height gain. so i want to ask should i have to take any medicine or syrups or should i just go on with stretching exercises. Please provide your valuable suggestion. Thanks
