There are no generally contraindicated medications after a contrast enhanced Ct Scan.

"Unremarkable" in a CT of the brain without contrast means that there are no abnormal findings or any significant issues detected in the brain images. It suggests that the brain appears normal and there are no visible signs of disease or injury.
Traumatic lesions to the brain are well seen without i.v. contrast agents. In particular, traumatic hemorrhage, be it epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, parenchymal or intraventricular, is spontaneously hyperdense on CT. Theoretically, i.v. contrast would be, at best useless, at worst counterproductive.
and w/out contrast ?
There are two types of contrast used in CT, oral and IV. IV contrast is usually a nonionic iodinated liquid injected into your arm. This highlights anatomy with blood flow. A noncontrast ct scan usually refers to NOT using the IV contrast, oral may still be used.
