Can I use Vines tablets from a damaged blister?
Today, while taking birth control pills, I noticed that several windows are violated (the film itself). Is the operation somehow violated by them? Should I change the leaf or can I finish it? I take Vines tablets. I attach a photo. Window 14, 16, 17, 21.

In this case, the storage conditions were correct, the effectiveness should not be reduced.
I will add that the tablets do not look violated, I attach a photo. Will their effectiveness be reduced in such storage conditions?
The tablets were stored in a blister pack and were in the pocket of the purse. There was certainly no moisture, nor was the temperature. It seems to me that this packaging has been slightly torn for a few days / week.

Keep the medicine in the original package in order to protect from light and moisture. Are you able to tell how long this packaging has already been violated? We are not able to determine whether environmental conditions have affected and how the formula of the tablet. In such a situation, you can finish using this blister, but prophylactically it is better to use an additional method of contraception for the next days of taking the pills. That is, use, for example, a condom 7 additional days from taking the last tablet from the damaged blister, i.e. over 2 weeks. If this is a problem for you, please use the tablets from the new packaging. If the tablets were stored at a temperature below 30 degrees, without moisture, there is a small probability that the effectiveness of the tablets has decreased, since they are film-coated tablets. Nevertheless, the manufacturer does not inform what happens to the tablets if they are stored in a damaged blister.
