Dirac's quantization rule

I first recall Dirac's quantization rule, derived under the hypothesis that there would exit somewhere a magnetic charge: $\frac{gq}{4\pi} = \frac{n\hbar}{2} $ with $n$ a natural number. … I am wondering how the quantization of electric charge can be deduced from it. The quantization of the product $gq$ is certainly not enough; what else is demanded? …
