Faded stamp/writing on birth control pill

Kind of random but I was looking at my next pack of birth control pills and the 2nd row all have "215" stamped onto them. The one pill is not completely stamped and just says "2 5" and the numbers are harder to read than the rest of the pills, kind of like they're faded or weren't stamped hard enough onto the pill.

Note: They have not been exposed to extreme temperatures or anything abnormal. Sometimes if it starts to get hot in the house and we don't put on our A/C I will bring them to work since there is A/C there. I doubt carrying with me from home to work would do anything to them.

The other pills in the same pack look normal.
Is it still safe to use?

Hi FadedPassions,

If there's nothing else to indicate that the pill pack has been compromised, then this is likely just a variation that occurred during pill production.

You mentioned previously that you were planning on adding condoms into the mix of your sex life. Have you done so?

Thank you I thought the same thing just wanted to make sure. Yes I am going to be in the near future. :)

You're welcome :) And good to hear, that can help you feel less worried about possible issues with your pill when you have a back-up method.
