And so ends the fairy tale regarding the miraculous effects of meclizine. Real-world studies involving children with achondroplasia have demonstrated extremely low efficacy for meclizine, even when combined with hormone therapy. I quote: 4.35 ± 1.36 cm/year prior to treatment, compared to 4.46 ± 1.54 cm/year. In other words, the observed effect amounted to less than 0.20 cm per year. Consequently, meclizine simply will not work for healthy individuals—or will yield only a negligible effect.

Efficacy and Safety of Oral Meclizine for Growth Promotion in Children with Achondroplasia: A Phase 2 Clinical Trial - PubMed
Meclizine has been shown to promote bone growth by inhibiting a key signaling pathway involved in achondroplasia (ACH). Earlier studies demonstrated its safety in children with ACH after short-term use. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of meclizine treatment over 26...
