swallowable
Able to consume
Swallowable describes something that can be swallowed, typically referring to pills, tablets, or capsules small enough to pass down the throat without difficulty.
The term appears most often in pharmaceutical and medical contexts, where swallowable sensors or swallowable cameras are devices designed to be ingested for diagnostic purposes.
Something may be technically swallowable but still unpleasant to get down.
