In medical terms, what does 'contraindicated' mean?

  1. Highly recommended

  2. Not recommended or safe to use

  3. Necessary for treatment

  4. Optional but preferred

The correct answer is: Not recommended or safe to use

'Contraindicated' in medical terms means that something is not recommended or is unsafe to use. The other options are incorrect because being 'contraindicated' does not necessarily mean it is necessary, optional, or highly recommended. It refers specifically to something being unsafe or not recommended for use in medical treatment.
