Dear Patient,
yes, it is safe because it is not absorbed and it is not related with any side effect related with liquid overload. However, you must solve the edema, since it increases chronically the risk to develop cardiovascular diseases, and acutely blood hypertension and pulmonary edema. This is the number one priority.
Take care.
