Pegasys (peginterferon alfa 2a) & Ribavirin: These drugs used for hepatitis c treatment, among others, can have serious side effects. Ribavirin is associated with headaches. The prolonged menstrual bleeding can be a sign of a blood dyscrasia. It would be wise to follow up with your physician immediately.
