Generally the later the generation the better thta the cephalosporin passes BBB. Oviously, IV and injectables have a more direct route, so by default they have a better chance of BBB pentration.

The one caution about cefdinir that I found was the potential for seizures-this is not a warning on the proeduct label, but appeared in a few case reports.
