I have had a few side effects while taking Copegus the main one being nausea and quite strong, it has never made me physically sick but have been close. The only other side effect i have experienced has been sweating heavily at night, but i dont know another person who has taken the drug to have the same problem with sweating.

I have cirrhosis damage caused by Hep C virus which greatly slows down the absorption of any medications I take orally. This affects the effectiveness of the drug, so other than that I would have rated it 5 stars.
