Hello Mrs.,
I don't see any problem with collagen, but as a pure precaution, I suggest to take it at least 3 hours apart from ramipril.
As for the green tea capsules, I do not recommend taking them: green tea can act as a diuretic, i.e. it can promote fluid loss, potentially causing a drop in blood pressure, or even dehydration, which should be avoided with ramipril. On the other hand, the caffeine content should be checked as it can increase blood pressure.
Taking one green tea a day should not cause any problems.
I hope this has been helpful to you and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask!
