If my birth control pill was a little wet, does it still work?

Question

I was on a camping trip and I put my birth control pills and my syntroid (one of each only) in a closed medicine jar, and I noticed that something had leaked and my syntroid was darker yellow I took it yesterday morning even though it was wet, my last period was on July 3-7 (I had started my pill pack on Sunday July 4, at the beginning of my period). It's the first month I'm back on the pill after a 2 month break. Am I better off protecting myself until the end of this cycle? My last unprotected sex was last Wednesday or Thursday, am I correct? So the only wet pill I took was yesterday (Sunday) and the others were intact. And the pill was not wet, just moist and with micelar water (bioderma)

Hello, Obviously, the ideal would be not to use them because we can no longer guarantee the integrity of the drugs. Will they be little or not effective? We don't know If you don't have access to a dose that is not exposed to moisture, I think it would be better to take it anyway than not to take anything Depending on where you are in your cycle, my recommendation on how to make sure you're still protected will change. When was your last period? Do you take the pill continuously or do you take breaks? Logically you would be protected but to be safe, you could use a second method of contraception for 7 days.
