Before I take rifampin I checked Google ,the instruction was: Rifampin comes as a capsule to take by mouth. Rifampin works best on an empty stomach; take it 1 hour before or at least 2 hours after a meal. If you have difficulty swallowing the capsule, you may empty its contents into applesauce or jelly. Take rifampin exactly as directed.
What I understand from this instruction is taken the medication with empty stomach (at least 2 hours empty). After taking this medicine at least one hour not to eat.

That's my take. I did 1x morn and 1x nightly. I know ethambutol should be all pills at once per njh guidelines.
