Does Glimepiride Cause Yeast Infection?

can glimperide (diabetic med) or farxiga (diabetic med) cause a yeast infection or rash that spreads after having taken it for several months with no issues.
this rash started under both arms (of my husband) and has spread all over upper torso and beginning to spread to lower area now.
