"An unintended consequence of any action" is the definition of side effect. This is tricky because side effects would also make sense when placed into the sentence; however, the best definition for contraindication is "a factor or symptom which makes a certain treatment inadvisable."
"A perceived change in a person that indicates a disease or disorder" is the meaning of symptom.
"That which follows something on which it depends" is the meaning of consequence.
