If you had two differnt pills in the same bottle and one broke would it stick to the other? it had already been power formed after it broke can you just simply wipe them off? will it be ok? to take

Should be OK: I'm not sure I completely understand, but I think it should be OK. Not sure what you mean but believe powder formed after one of the pills broke. There should be very little cross contamination and it should not be of important significance. Obviously: don't keep different pills in the same bottle:) Good wishes!

Yes but: If you can see the powder that means that some , however minute the amount, would have stuck to the other. It'd be ok for you to gently wipe off the powder (no water). I presume that you are not allergic to the "broken" drug otherwise it would be a no-no. In practice, if you have been taking both drugs without problem, a little powder is not going to make much difference.
