Hi,

I am sorry to say that there is no medication, either oral or injectable that can help increase your height now. However, there is one thing that may help. If you can exercise regularly, focusing on sprinting, skipping and stretching exercises along with taking a diet rich in protein, calcium and other nutrients, you may be able to add a few centimeters to your height over time even at this age. In fact, this has been shown to work even in people older than you. To a large extent, height is determined by hereditary factors like the height of your parents, but exercise and diet are also very important.

Best wishes.
