    I am an Indian and I am 67 years old. It is wrong to totally brand that Enteroquinol would damage sight . It is a good and mild ameabicidal and antibacterial medicine for a short term treatment which would soothen the walls of Intestine and rectum. I have used this medicine on a number of occasions. Only prolonged treatment with high dosage of Iodochlorhydroxy quinoline may damage peripheral optic nerves. The US Government should reconsider their decision to ban this medicine.
