11. A microparticle composition for drug delivery wherein the microparticle is comprised of a metal ion-lipid complex and an active agent in addition to the metal ion-lipid complex formed by the following process:
- dispersing a phospholipid in water to create a first preparation;
suspending a metal compound or salt in water to create a second preparation;
adding an active agent;
combining the first and second preparations; and
spray drying the combined preparations to create a metal ion-lipid microparticle composition. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
