How much does an IV drip cost in the UK?

What is the typical price range for an IV drip in the UK?

Prices vary widely because IV drips are offered by very different kinds of provider, from beauty salons to doctor-led clinics. As a rough guide to the UK market:

• Simple hydration drips at salons and some beauty clinics: from around £75.
• Vitamin drips from clinic-led providers: usually somewhere between £100 and £250.
• Premium providers, particularly in central London: often £250 or more.
• NAD+ drips: often £250 or more, because the ingredient is expensive and the infusion is usually given slowly, so the appointment runs longer.
• Mobile or home visits: some providers add a call-out or travel fee on top of the treatment price.

What affects the price of an IV drip?

Two drips with similar names can cost very different amounts. The main factors are:

• What is in the bag: the ingredients, their strength and how many are combined.
• The volume of fluid and how long the infusion takes.
• Who is involved: a prescriber to assess you and prescribe the medicines, and a qualified practitioner to give the drip.
• Health screening and a suitability check before treatment.
• Sterile, single-use equipment and properly sourced medicines.
• Location: city-centre clinics cost more to run, and mobile visits involve travel time.

What should the price of an IV drip include?

Whatever you pay, the price should cover more than the bag itself. A very low price can be a sign that important steps are being skipped. Before you book, check that the provider includes:

• A health screening before your appointment.
• An assessment by a clinician, with a prescriber responsible for the medicines used.
• Treatment given by a qualified, registered practitioner.
• Sterile, single-use equipment.
• Clear aftercare advice and a way to contact the provider afterwards.

Are IV drips worth the money?

That is a personal decision, and it is worth knowing that the evidence for benefits in healthy people is limited. NHS England and the consumer group Which? have both said that most people get the vitamins and minerals they need from a balanced diet.

At vFlow we describe what is in each drip and how it is given, rather than making health claims. If you think you may be low in a particular vitamin, a blood test through your GP is a sensible first step.
