Can Safflower Supplement Be Taken While On Metformin And Clopidogrel?

I am a type II diabetic currently using 1,000 mg of Metformin, twice daily along with 90 units of Humilin 70/30 twice a day. I take 75 mg of Clopidogrel once daily, 50 mg of Losartan twice a day, 40 mg of Nexium once daily,12.5 mg of Carvedilol twice a day, 30mg Isosorbide once daily and 0.0mic of Nitrostat as needed. To add, am a AAA repair (2006) and a Quad by-pass (2012). Any problem adding Safflower to diet to help lose wait?
