A warning is telling you that something bad might happen, while a contraindication is telling you that you can't do something in a particular instance.

For instance taking thalidomide during pregnancy is contraindicated since it can cause birth defects. But in some non-pregnant cancer patients it is used as chemotherapy, and they would be warned that it can also cause constipation.
