Erythromycin, Doxycycline and Penicillin are all different types of antibiotics.
Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea antidiabetic and is in no way related to any of the above antibiotics.
This link contains an extensive side effect profile of Glimepiride http://www.drugs.com/sfx/glimepiride-side-effects.html
and includes:
"...Dermatologic side effects
Dermatologic side effects have included pruritus, erythema, urticaria, and morbilliform or maculopapular rashes in less than 1% of cases. Sulfonylureas have caused porphyria cutanea tarda and photosensitivity reactions."
