Consumable
From Guild Wars Wiki
A consumable is any item that has a specific effect when used. All consumable items require the player to double-click on it for activation. Regular consumables are stackable and disappear after one use. Those with multiple uses are non-stackable, such as kits. There are even items with unlimited uses, such as the everlasting tonics.
Consumables cannot be used in PvP.
