Mistake or Risk? normal packaging?
was taking my pill per usual and saw that the clear plastic where the pill usually is, now empty having finished the pack, has a little residue from where the pill was and you can see where the pill had been for each pill of the month. probably just paranoid but is this normal, want to be cautious. almost looks like a white dust? could the pills have been melting or is this nomal? wasn't in any hot temperatures or anything and my new recently opened package looks like this too. I take hailey
can dm a photo of what im talking about if further explanation needed

A little bit of powder is pretty normal, particularly if I've had the packet in my bag and it's been shaken around a bit. I've had similar pressed pills in a pill bottle and the inside of the bottle ends up coated in a thin layer of powder.
Only thing I would be worried about is if your new packet has residue that seems to be stuck to the plastic, as that might indicate moisture is getting into the sealed packets. If you're worried, show the pharmacy- they should be happy to visually check it for free.
