Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern.

There are very few medicines that help in increasing height. I suggest you follow a few things mentioned below.

  1. Try doing stretching exercises and yoga.
  2. Increase protein, minerals, vitamins, and fiber intake in your diet.
  3. Take a capsule of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) twice daily.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
