Yes. It contains glimeperide which can cause hypoglycemia and also lead to OHA failure. U should consult a diabetologist with latest reports and reduce the dose of glimeperide if sugar levels are normal. Also one should try to keep dose of glimeperide to minimum and use better alternatives like full dose of Metformin DPP4Is and SGLT2Is
