Usage Note

Indicado is often used predicatively: el médico indicado ('the right doctor') or no es lo más indicado ('it's not the most advisable course'). It carries the nuance of something that is prescribed, recommended, or situationally suitable, rather than merely correct in an abstract sense. The negative contraindicado is a medical term for 'contraindicated'.

Examples

"Ese medicamento no está indicado para niños."
