Obviously, I'm not gonna take the ones that are defective. I've cut off the ruined side and plan to return it to the pharmacy tomorrow, but I wanted to ask two things. One, can I safely take the other side/row here? The pills in it seem untouched/still sealed, but I want to err on the side of caution. Two, since there's three of these "packs" per box, can I take the other ones safely? The pills in them are sealed as normal, but again, I just want to be sure. This stressed me out because I have no clue what could have caused this and have never seen this in two years of taking ADHD meds. Info about me, since post gets removed otherwise: Gender: female Age: 22 Meds: Methylphenidate Hydrocloride for ADHD
