General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear. You have been prescribed Fixcom4 for Tuberculosis. All these drugs cause some amount of gastritis. It is fine to take the medicines as you are taking now and not four tablets at once. But just that make sure you take all the 4 medicines in a day. The medicines should be taken either 1 hour before food or 2 hours after food, since the absorption of these medicines is slowed down if you take along with food.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
