Brief Answer:
A nutritional supplement

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Relizen is highly marketed product that is claimed to reduce the hot flashes in menopausal women. It is only a dietary supplement.
These drugs are not OKayed by FDA (Food and Drug Admin in US). Since they are dietary supplements they do not interfere with other drugs.
You seem to be taking very normal drugs that are available over the counter. Currently no studies to say that Relizen interacts with any over the counter drugs.
Interactions are studied only for Prescription only drugs.
Whether Relizen helps or not is not known but it can be safe.
