So the clones are already dead after a few years after ep 6. But I think if the empire phones to the Kamino Clone institutions and orders a clone pack they should get a new pack of clones I think.
I don't remember any drugs being mentioned with regards to the growth rate of the clones. It was genetic tampering at the embryonic stage that they used.
By the time of the OT, they were conscripting as much as they were using clones, and many of the Fett clones were supposed to have been retired by that time. Given that there was thirty six years between Episode I (which is round about when the first batch of Clones were created) and Episode VI, most of the original batch would be physically seventy two years old, unless they found a way to slow the accelerated aging process down. In the pre-Disney timeline, the Empire actively avoided creating more Fett clones after the incident on Kamino.
