Tablets of activated charcoal are still used as a folk remedy and over-the-counter drug to treat diarrhea, indigestion, and flatulence. They were also used in the past by doctors for this purpose. There is some evidence of its effectiveness as a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS),and to prevent diarrhea in cancer patients who have received irinotecan. A type of charcoal biscuit has also been marketed as a pet care product.
