An effect is the consequence of an action.

Example sentences:

Ice's intended effect on a sprained ankle is to reduce swelling.

Medications can have the effect of curing illness, such as an antibiotic, or relieving the symptoms of illness, such as aspirin.

Some medications have unintended negative effects called side effects.

NOTE: The meaning of "effect" is quite different than the meaning of "affect".
