Hello,
although the pill is probably ok to consume, I wouldn't recommend doing so. Pills are supposed to stay in the package until right before use. Nobody can say for sure that the pill has not been altered by this exposure.
I hope I've answered your question. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Kind Regards,
