Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. However, there is only mention of medication being taken. That does not give any idea about how is the actual glucose control, because there is no information on fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, dietary pattern, lipid profile, extent of daily exercise and bp readings.

Please look at the ingredient, if it is Metformin 500 mg, then both are same. Some times there may be an additional XR mentioned, which means it is an extended release tablet, that acts for over 12 hours inside the gut. Thanks.

If symptoms don't resolve, then guess we need to stop metformin.

Yes, you can use these two tablets instead of one. That will work as one tablet of glycomet gp1 forte.

Dear Lybrate user, glimepiride stimulates betacells to secrete insulin. Metformin is supposed to reduce insulin resistance and slow down glucose absorption from the intestine.

Which drug to take for a particular level can be decided by the treating doctor.
