Tb tablets have to be taken together if possible. You can take it after food no issues avoid empty stomach as it can cause gastric irritation. In simple language to kill the tb bacillus effectively you need to take all medications together. You can keep a gap but no longer than 30 mins.

For optimal efficacy,should be taken on an empty stomach.Ideally 1hr before food and if not tolerated together take them with spacing separately.Studies have demonstrated that taking these medications with food can significantly reduce their plasma concentrations.

IF this is something that your doctor told you to do after you tried taking all tablets but couldn't tolerate, then it's alright. You could also try taking tablets after a bit of food and then take rest of the food. That also can be done. If not, let us know.
