Try this:

public void SetLeftDrawable (UIImage image)
{
    var attachment = new NSTextAttachment ();
    attachment.Image = image;
    var attachmentString = NSAttributedString.FromAttachment (attachment);
    //replace "price" with your string.
    var myString = new NSMutableAttributedString ("price");
    myString.Append (attachmentString);
    AttributedText = myString;
}

Hope this helps.-
