Yes, Metformin Hydrochloride and Glimepiride are commonly used together to treat Type 2 Diabetes, because they work in different ways to control blood sugar. However, they should be taken only in the dose advised by your doctor, as glimepiride can sometimes cause low blood sugar. Eat meals on time, monitor your sugar levels regularly, and watch for symptoms like sweating, dizziness, shakiness, or weakness.
