Squeezing the first contraceptive pill from the third week in a blister today, I noticed that the window with the placebo pill for a week (Monday) opened slightly. What in this case? Can something negative happen here? Should I take this placebo pill in a week?
In the photo you can't quite see this break.
In addition, I would like to ask in the future, what if this would happen to a tablet with an active ingredient?

In the case of damage to the film over the active tablet, it depends on how long the film would be damaged. In the case of film-coated pills, the use of the drug after a short time (e.g. 24 hours) does not affect the effectiveness of contraception, which we wrote about, for example, in the opinion:
