Good morning. I accidentally washed my backpack and in his pocket there was a contraceptive drug slinda. Wash set to 40 degrees. Is the drug still fit for use?

While taking one pill from a washed blister should not be harmful, I encourage you to switch to the new Slinda pack as soon as possible to ensure contraceptive efficacy.
Thank you very much. I will. From tomorrow, my daughter will take the drug from the new blister. Today she took one more pill from that washed blister. I understand that it won't hurt her. Best regards

As the blister was exposed to particularly adverse conditions (moisture, detergent and heat) in the wash, this could affect the chemical composition and efficacy of the tablets. To be safe, it is better to take this blister to the pharmacy (https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-gdzie-wyrzucac-leki) and start a new one.
