ACE inhibitors like captopril, enalapril block the Angiotensin Converting enzyme this enzyme convert the angiotensin 1 into angiotensin 2 and also metabolize bradykinin into inactive metabolites. So by giving ACE inhibitors the level of bradykinin increased which is vasodilator so leading to dry cough and angioedema.
