Simple Question But Can't Understand

Okay if you swallow a medication any kind and it goes through the digestive tract can understand how some depending on individual would upset stomach and digestion. But taking an lets say antibiotic enter then the blood stream and hit an infection and kill or destroy the targeted germs. But even antibiotics cross the blood brain barrier and can can damage as the biaxin took my taste and smell permanently away. But how and what is the blood brain barrier and how does a medication psychiatic or otherwise cross it to do something. I just don't understand what a blood barrier is. I picture a road block stopping a med from entering. Is it possible a med can't cross it and that is why meds work for some and not others. My thoughts today as I get so confused. Phillipa
