You might be wondering
Why can I no longer access epocrates+ as an international user?
epocrates has discontinued offering our mobile app and the ability to purchase an epocrates+ subscription to non-U.S.-based customers. You will still be able to access free epocrates content and features through epocrates online (online.epocrates.com). We apologize for this inconvenience. Please contact our Support Team if you have any questions or concerns.
How do I view my purchase history and receive previous billing receipts?
For purchases made through us directly at epocrates.com, your billing receipts are sent to the email associated with your epocrates account. A PDF version of your receipt is also available for download from the Payment and Subscription page online at epocrates.com via the link below.

There should also be a purchase history available through these respective accounts where further details can be obtained.
