A new system to administer liposomal formulations to mammals, including man, comprising a dry lipid-based solid material, which in an aqueous milieu spontaneously form or reconstitute liposomes, and a device for aerosolizing a selected quantity of the lipid-based solid material in a suitable form, is described. The invention is particularily suitable for applications where the lipid-based solid composition is inhaled as a finely-divided powder in aerosol form and hydrated in the respiratory tract. |
