Brief Answer:
fairly well tolerated

Detailed Answer:
The three medications for Hepatitis C are usually well tolerated together. The Ribavirin has the more serious side effects including suppression of the bone marrow. Your doctor will closely monitor you check your blood regularly to see if the combination is effective and prevent complications.

I think it is a good idea to use all three to help treat your Hep C
