How Much Does IV Therapy Cost in Edmonton? Published Prices (2026)
The short answer
Across the Edmonton clinics that publish their menus, a standard IV vitamin drip runs from a low of $75 to a high of $295, with a median of $150. Those are published clinic menu prices collected in June 2026, in Canadian dollars, and they are not quotes. Your actual total depends on dose, add-ons, whether an assessment fee applies, and tax.
We track 30 active IV therapy listings in Edmonton. Eight of them publish at least one price, which is what the index below is built from: one representative price per clinic per drip type.
The per-drip numbers, June 2026
Standard IV vitamin drip. Seven Edmonton clinics publish a price. The low is $75, the median is $150, and the high is $295. This is the widest spread of any category we could report, and it is also the category most people mean when they ask what a drip costs.
Hydration. Four clinics publish a price. The low is $125, the median is $160, and the high is $175. Notice how much tighter this band is. Hydration menus tend to be simpler, which leaves less room for the price to move.
Beauty or glow drips. Four clinics publish a price. The low is $60, the median is $160, and the high is $200. The $60 figure at the bottom is worth a second look, because in this category some clinics list an add-on push rather than a full bag. A number that low often is not the same product as the number at the top.
A note on what we could not report. Immune support, Myers' Cocktail, glutathione, NAD+ and B12 injection drips had too few published prices in Edmonton this round to give you a range we would stand behind. We would rather leave a gap than publish a median built on two clinics. If you are shopping for one of those specifically, you will likely need to call or check individual menus.
The full breakdown, including how many clinics sit behind each number, lives on the Edmonton price index. You can compare against other cities on the prices hub.
Why the same drip costs $75 at one clinic and $295 at another
Four things account for most of the spread.
Dose and volume. A 250 mL bag and a 1,000 mL bag are both "a drip." They take different amounts of time, different amounts of supply, and different amounts of chair. Some menus list the volume, many do not. This is the single most common reason two prices that look comparable are not.
Add-ons. Most Edmonton menus are built as a base drip plus optional pushes: extra B12, extra magnesium, an antioxidant, an anti-nausea agent. A clinic advertising a low base price may assume you will add two or three. A clinic advertising a higher base price may have those already built in. When you compare, compare the finished bag, not the starting number.
Who assesses you and who administers. Clinics differ in staffing model. Some have a prescriber on site who sees every patient before the first drip. Some use a remote or asynchronous prescriber review. The clinician time built into the price is real, and it varies. Scope and supervision rules also differ by province, which we cover in who can legally give an IV in Canada.
Mobile versus in clinic. A nurse coming to your house or hotel in Edmonton is carrying supplies, driving, and blocking off travel time. Mobile services in most markets carry a premium over the same drip in a chair at a clinic. If a price looks high relative to the median, check whether it is a mobile service price.
What the menu price usually does not include
This is where people get surprised at checkout.
The initial assessment. Many clinics charge separately for the first intake and prescriber review, and some waive it if you book a drip the same day. Ask whether the fee is one time, annual, or per visit.
GST. Depending on how a service is billed and by whom, tax may be added to the menu figure. Do not assume the number on the website is the number on your receipt.
Memberships and packages. A lot of the more attractive per drip pricing you see advertised is package pricing: six drips prepaid, or a monthly membership. The single visit walk in price is often higher than the number featured on the homepage. Ask what the one time price is before you commit to a package, and ask what happens to unused sessions if you stop.
Lab work. Some clinics require or recommend bloodwork before certain drips. That may be billed separately, or referred out.
Insurance. IV vitamin therapy is generally not covered the way a physiotherapy visit is, but coverage varies by plan and by who provides the service. We walk through how Canadians actually check this in our guide to IV therapy and insurance coverage in Canada. Bring the question to your plan administrator, not the clinic front desk.
What to ask before you pay
A short call answers most of what a menu cannot.
- What volume is the bag, and what exactly is in it?
- Is the price I see on your site the single visit price, or a package or member rate?
- Is there an assessment or intake fee, and is it charged again on return visits?
- Is GST added?
- Who assesses me before the drip, and what are their credentials?
- Who inserts the IV and who is in the building while it runs?
- What happens if I react, and what is your policy on stopping partway through?
We expand on the clinical side of that list in 7 questions to ask before IV therapy. Treatments should be discussed with the clinic prescriber and with your own clinician, especially if you take medication, are pregnant, or have a kidney or heart condition. Nothing on a menu replaces that conversation.
Reading an Edmonton clinic page
When you land on a listing, the two things worth finding first are who prescribes and who administers. Those answers tell you more about what you are paying for than the dollar figure does.
Edmonton has a mix of models. Some clinics sit inside broader wellness or chiropractic practices, some are standalone infusion lounges, some operate as medical services with mobile options. Among the Edmonton listings we track, Google reviewers rate VitaPoke Infusion Lounge (Poke Beauty) 5 stars from 44 reviews, True Movement Edmonton 5 stars from 51 reviews, Cove Chiropractic & Wellness 5 stars from 30 reviews, Feel Irie Medical Services 5 stars from 38 reviews, Infuse Health Inc. 5 stars from 26 reviews, and SMRT Health 4.9 stars from 93 reviews. Those ratings are from Google as of today and are reported here as a data point, not as a recommendation from us. Review counts matter as much as the star number: 93 reviews and 26 reviews carry different weight.

Comparing outside Edmonton
If you split time between cities or you are willing to drive, the same index exists elsewhere in Alberta. You can browse Calgary and Red Deer, or start from the cities hub to see everywhere we track. Prices in smaller markets are not automatically lower; the number of clinics publishing prices is usually smaller, which makes medians less stable.

One last reminder on the numbers above. They are published menu prices from June 2026, one representative figure per clinic per drip. They are a starting point for comparison, not a quote, and dose plus add-ons explain most of the gap between the low and the high.
