Hi,
Rifampicin is best to be taken before breakfast which means half to one hour before breakfast. This is because the drug absorption may sometimes be affected by food. All the other three drugs can be taken after food. In case you experience any gastritis, Rifampicin should be taken along with proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
