While peginterferon and ribavirin are the medications of choice for treating hepatitis C, most people experience at least a few side effects from this combination therapy. While many of these effects are mild or moderate in nature, others can be problematic.
If side effects from the hepatitis C medication are making you feel bad, it does not mean that the treatment isn't working.

The medications can also be helping your body reverse the damage already done to your liver. The viral RNA blood test will let you know how your hepatitis C treatment is going.
