Are Metformin, Simvastatin And Echinacea Contraindicated If Taken Together?

I feel a cold coming on. I am a Type 2 Diabetic taking 250 MG Glipizide-Metforamin twice a day and 40 MG Simvastin once a day. I would like to begin taking 4.4 MG Echinacea twice a day for 4 days. Do these drugs react to one another? Any dangers I should be aware of?
