I took the two together for about 12 months without issue. There’s no listed, known interaction between the two, either, according to the BNF.

I know there is no interaction except bisoprolol can mask low blood glucose which diabetics have to be wary of

As I said, I took the two together for a year with no problems - I take metformin due to having severe hypos arising from metabolic disorder. Only stopped taking them because after several years with no issues, the bisoprolol was effecting my heart rate and giving me symptomatic bradycardia.
