Brief Answer:
Side effects of prostinor

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Prostinor can lead to dizziness and lethagy due to the hormonal content it has.
Prostinor also leads to thick vaginal and cervical discharge.
However, joint pain is unlikely due to prostinor.
I will suggest you to consult an orthopedician for knee pain.
Rest, there is nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Chances nil

Hi dear,
Yes, taking prostinor within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse prevents the pregnancy in 95-98% cases.
So the chances of pregnancy are almost nil.
