Add-ons are where a predictable bill becomes an unpredictable one, and where a low headline price stops meaning much. Each is a separate item at its own price, approved at intake and quoted before it goes into the line. Knowing the ranges beforehand is the whole defence against a surprise.
An antioxidant push, usually glutathione, is the most expensive common addition, collected around $50 to $100 on top of the bag. An anti-nausea medication runs roughly $20 to $40, and an anti-inflammatory about the same.
An extra B12 is among the cheapest items on any menu at roughly $15 to $25, and a vitamin D injection around $20 to $35. Those two are the reason regular clients tend to add rather than book separately, because a standalone shot carries a travel fee that an add-on does not.
Two add-ons can easily put $50 to $100 on an advertised drip price, which is exactly why the all-in total is the number to ask for. See drip pricing and the shots menu.

Deciding
How to handle add-ons without overspending
Decide before the visit
Add-ons are easy to agree to once a nurse is set up beside you. Knowing in advance which ones you actually want keeps the bill where you expected it.
Ask what each costs, individually
Not what the total will be with everything. Item by item, because that is where you can tell which ones are worth it to you and which are not.
Compare with a standalone shot
If you only want B12, an add-on to a drip you were already booking costs less than a separate visit, because there is no second travel fee.
Remember they need approval too
An add-on is not automatic because you asked. It is approved at intake with the rest of the blend, and a clinician can decline one while approving the bag.
Watch for this
The low headline price pattern
A drip advertised well below every published range, with add-ons presented as standard rather than optional, ends up costing more than a mid-priced bag with nothing added. It is a common pattern in this market and it is only visible if you ask for the all-in total.
The test is simple: ask what the total will be for exactly what you want, with nothing you did not ask for. A provider who gives that number plainly is one you can compare properly. One who will not is telling you something.
What each costs, whether they are optional, and how to avoid a surprise bill.
Collected in this market: an antioxidant push around $50 to $100, anti-nausea or anti-inflammatory roughly $20 to $40 each, an extra B12 about $15 to $25, and a vitamin D injection around $20 to $35. Ranges, not a quote.
Yes, entirely. Anything presented as standard rather than optional is worth questioning, because that is how an advertised price becomes a different final number.
Yes, and it usually costs less, because a standalone shot carries a travel fee that an add-on does not. If you have drips occasionally anyway, that is how most regular clients take B12 and glutathione.
Yes. An add-on is approved at intake with the rest of the blend, and a clinician can decline one while approving the bag. Asking for it does not make it automatic.
Ask for the all-in total for exactly what you want, with nothing you did not ask for, before the visit. Anything agreed on the day is quoted before it goes into the line.
Per item, sometimes marginally. What actually saves money is not paying a second travel fee, which is why adding to a booked drip beats a separate visit for the same thing.
