Is it okay to take OTC carbohydrate blockers

I heard that some people take a OTC carbo blocker to help with blocking some of the carbohydrates that they are eating. Wouldn't this hurt you with your malabsorbtion, or just a waste of your money. Has anyone taking any of these? Do they help to get over a plateau?
