Hi.
Yes, it is ok to take those two medications without rifampicin. Since you are allergic rifampicin hence your doctor has prescribed isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol which are equally effective against pulmonary tuberculosis. Continue taking them as prescribed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
