contraindication

noun

meaning in plain English

A time when a medicine or treatment should not be used because it could cause harm.

for example

If someone is pregnant, that is a contraindication for taking that drug.

A contraindication is like a big red warning sign that says, 'Don’t use this!' Why? Because using it could make things worse instead of better. Imagine if someone with a peanut allergy took medicine made with peanuts—it would be a clear contraindication.
